I’ve been focusing on growing my LinkedIn network as part of my job search strategy. Currently, I have 45 connections, mostly consisting of former college classmates and professors. I've come to realize that simply applying for jobs isn't yielding results, so I’m shifting my approach to networking. I'm in Video Production and Broadcasting, and I've started posting clips and stories from my capstone short film to attract the attention of recruiters. I want to be visible and not just another name on a list. I've been contemplating whether I should connect with more recruiters and industry leaders directly. However, I understand that networking is about building genuine relationships, not just increasing my connection count. I’m looking for ways to engage meaningfully with others in my field.
