I work at a magazine - hit up every single person you can think of

I got my job by like idk sending out I think 500+ applications but also in the end I messaged every single person I could think of who might know someone or know someone who knows someone to just even get a tiny toe in the door and I think that helped Like literally I had a friend who I thought knew someone who used to be at x magazine. I texted the friend and asked about it and if it seem d okay I’d ask them to put me in touch or some shit Before that I got my job literally on Craigslist it seemed weird but I was sooooo desperate for a job and it ended up being legit tech job w health benefits and good pay So 🤷‍♀️

HAVING LOTS OF LUCK AND GOOD CONNECTIONS

After graduating I kept my student job to fix the bills and then on the side I started applying for ones that related to my studies. Sucked ass big time. Soooo many applications and sooo many rejections. Eventually I got a paid internship through nepotism, which turned into a temp job. Was super lucky to receive that opportunity and hoping that the experience will help me when I need to start job hunting again.

People you know

Going through people you know even just asking if they know anyone working in a restaurant who can check if their restaurant is hiring is really the best way. But for what it's worth I thought applying directly through companies would get me jobs the fastest but that didn't work for months until I caved and applied through Indeed and I did actually start getting responses at least and got my job pretty fast. It's a tutoring gig tho so it might be very different in the restaurant industry I'm not sure.

Don’t rely on indeed & linkedin

I found my job from asking someone I know! I was unemployed for a little over a year. Looking for jobs is brutal. I got a few interviews through Indeed but my current job was one I got through going to my dentist and asking if they needed help. I’m wishing you luck in your search!
