Reply to comment by aguillaume in [OC] My aggressive (and comparatively sad) 1-month job hunt as a software engineer with 6 months experience, before accepting a counter-offer from my current company. by coaster132

I've been doing this recently.I might shortlist 30 companies in a day, but then you do half an hours research, find someone who works there who might be willing to have a chat, and then shoot your shot.

I cannot recommend linkedIn Premium enough for this - if you edge LinkedIn a bit and look like you are not sure about getting it, they will often give you 50% of a couple of months. No job search will last more than a few months, so you are looking at less than £50 to get instant messages to anyone in the companies you are interested in.

I have had 100% success rate at getting to interviews for companies where I do this, and near 0% success for canvas style CV-and-send applications.
