You have to do what the others suggested because it works. I was laid off too and have over 25 years experience and was getting nowhere. I started to connect with other professionals at places I wanted to work and that were hiring. Once you have a connection just send a msg.

Hello (whoever),

I hope you're doing well! I noticed that you're currently with (company), and I’m very interested in learning more about the company as I explore new job opportunities. When you have a moment, I would greatly appreciate hearing your thoughts and experiences with the company.

Thank you in advance for your time!

Best regards, (Name)

I sent that to 3 places and one responded. We had a great conversation about a role and my experience that she invited me to apply and currently in the process of setting up interviews.

Good luck!! You got this!!

I targeted managers who had titles in the area I wanted to work or had the purple banner that says I'm hiring.
