As someone who escaped that hellhole a while back the secret is networking.

I’m a very introverted person who hates small talk and showing off, so it was miserable, but all of the interviews I got, except for one, out of my 250-350 applications were solely from networking. I started going through my contacts and shit, and I was looking at who I knew in the field, or might have connections in it. Worked wonders.

I started going through my contacts

Yeah that's my problem. I'm an extremely insular autistic person with basically zero contacts. Other than my dentist or Lemmy, I haven't had a semi-serious conversation with anyone in literally weeks.

Have you tried talking with family? I got strong leads from multiple family members.

[–] PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah I have. They haven't been reliable.

What has your recruiter suggested?

[–] PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I don't have a recruiter. I have met with people at my school's career center, but it seemed like their job was to direct me to online resources that I already read.

Get a recruiter. Their job is to get you a job, and their commission depends on how high your salary is. They're typically free.

I've used Robert Half in the past and was happy with them.
