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.

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!

it’s not delusional or ego inflating, it’s not creepy or stalkerish, but I’m a good internet sleuth and try to search for the company name + “recruiter” or “talent” and show genuine interest + how I am relevant to them, it’s how I got my last gig

go in the places you want to work and talk to people. You’ll immediately learn if they’re actually even hiring, and if they are, you’ve already made an impression that shows you’re eager and normal probably.

Instead of one device doing many things terribly, have many devices that do one thing very well. engaging fully with one activity. My camera cant play games. my mp3 player cant make calls. My sketch book cant lowball people on depop. Nature is healing

local music scenes often suck because everyones trying to sell you something. A band is trying to get tiktok famous, a promoter is trying to make money, clout has poisoned the well that art drinks from.
Just find a spot, ask friends to bring amps and drums, tell everyone to get there at 7 and listen to your buddies play music. literally anyone can do it. it can be alot to manage and be responsible for but its worth it
