I'm a content writer with 7 years of experience. In March, I was laid off from a startup that decided to outsource its content vertical to an external agency. Until now, I'd freelanced between jobs and always managed to make some money on the side.
But now it seems that freelancing platforms have been a dead end. Traditional job portals/platforms like Naukri or LinkedIn are too saturated.
I've noticed that most job descriptions on these sites are generic (and AI-generated) making it difficult for a job seeker to identify the must-have skills/experience to qualify for a role. Recruiters are generally cautious about referring candidates who are not a 100% match.
I've realized that a referral is my best chance of getting a job in the present job market. Reaching out to the community here for leads, referrals, advice. Please help a fellow Mumbaikar.
