You are out of a job and waiting for recruiters to contact you ? Most recruiters are out of a job right now so keep that in mind. Why not get more proactive and start applying to companies/teams that you would like to work for.

Plenty of companies hire remote and even if they don't have an open role being advertised, this is your opportunity to reach out to hiring managers and start a conversation. If you want to be selective, you also need to be more proactive especially if you are out of a job.

The market right now is a bit cooler as you can see the layoffs happening but if you are good at what you do, you can always find a role. You just may have to look more yourself since the easy days of waiting for recruiters to approach you is over at least for now.

I’ve been doing this as well, but haven’t had a single interview from either.


Tens of thousands of people are in the same boat.
