Show HN: Looking for work is a full time job – So I created this tool
For anyone currently stuck in the grind of endlessly applying for jobs, I completely understand your frustration. I’ve been job hunting for the past four months, and it’s been painfully repetitive and time-consuming. Applying via LinkedIn often feels like throwing your resume into a sea of 1,000+ other applicants, even with daily alerts turned on.
What worked better for me was following founders, recruiters, VCs and other key connections. I’d wait for them to post about roles to their network and apply directly by sending them a DM. This strategy landed me a few interviews, more than going via traditional application portals.
To make this process less manual, I built a tracker that highlights posts from people sharing roles with their private networks. It’s 100% free, so feel free to check it out if you’re in the job market!
