alt Hacker News> But will companies start hiring again?
Anecdata, but the few people I know who were looking to switch gigs all had multiple offers within a few weeks. One thing they all had in common was taking a very targeted approach with their search and leveraging their networks. Not spamming thousands of resumes into the ether.

so you either are well connected or you starve, got it
guess it's death and destitute for introverts
edit: please explain the downvotes, i'm curious why you think i'm wrong
if what op says it's true, that today only networking works, then it easily follows that if for some reasons you do not have a network then you don't get hired

Just finished a search - agree. The resume process is fundamentally broken, but a strong network makes it irrelevant. Lean on connections - there's a ton of opportunity out there.
