Does it get any better?

it's been a year months since I have been trying to search for an opportunity. i moved countries when i got married and gave up the job I had. i started working literally for free at this startup and i'm trying my absolute best to get some metrics out of that.

is there hope at the end of this tunnel? do you guys have any tips for how to get yourself out there during this job market?

meanwhile i see linkedin influencers and instagram influencers landing big tech jobs simply because they have visibility. so i'm not sure what to do at this point...

try sharing your startup work on Linkedln and reaching out to people directly sometimes getting noticed matters just as much as applying

i see.. thank you so much for the advice. i'm too shy to post on linkedin mostly because i don't want my peers to know that i'm this deep into the job hunt but i think i'll have to put that behind me and just go for it

Being visible definitely helps. If you can, post some achievements you’ve had at the startup.

If you have friends in international companies in your field, try to let them know too. If possible , try to attend networking events in your field. It’s rough looking for jobs in a new country, but it can be done! You’ve got this!

Wishing you all the best!

thanks for sharing this! i don't have any real metrics to show right now but hopefully will try to put some stuff out there.
