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!

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.

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 🤷♀️

Meet people in person. your online presence is a little bonus mini existence to supplement your real life existence. i got every job ive ever had because i met the person hiring or i was recommended by an employee. spending hours on indeed and sending 1000 emails might work, but in the end its all about who you know.
Go to events where youre likely to meet people you could work with. Make friends. let them get familiar with what you do. Ask if they need your services or if they know anyone who does. Theres no shortcut to get people to like you.
Would you hire a stranger via email over someone your friend chris recommends? Probably not.
