Last week I made a post in this subreddit explaining I got an interview by sending DMs to people on Linkedin.

Well it worked again, I have another interview!

What I'm basically doing is searching up companies I like, go to their Linkedin page, go to people, filter by position (manager, lead, HR, people, ...), send connection requests to as many people as I can, wait until they accept my request and shoot a message. Sending a message with the request actually reduces the response rate so send it after.

I'm basically doing this a couple times a day, many people ignore me but its part of the game.

If some of you want to try it out don't hesitate to reach out I can share some template messages and tips, just send me a DM.

For those who are not unemployed let me tell you the job market is absolute HELL.

Applying the traditional way via Linkedin, Indeed or other websites doesn't get you anywhere. Today to find a job it's all about your network and creating your own opportunities by reaching out.

But contacting people takes courage, feels cringe and takes time. Something I realized after spendings ours contacting people (unemployed but I work harder than many salesman ahah).

All of this to say, I created this tool to help me and launched it because people seemed interested.

My stats are:
- 43 people waitlisted
- 15 active users
- 1 paying user
- 9$ MRR
- Launched 3 days ago

I just wanted to share my story and journey, it's my first SaaS ever so it's been pretty exciting!

For the past couple of weeks I have been sendings DMs to people on LinkedIn to get interviews and it started to show some results!

What happened was that during my job search I didn't see many job post I liked and after 30min everyday I was done applying, I had nothing more to do than wait and see. I felt bad not being productive to find a job, so I was like let's apply and send messages to people to double my chances.

What I do is that I find companies I like -> go to their linkedin page -> people -> filter by position: HR, manager, ... -> send connection request -> once request is approved I send a message.

And don't send rubbish message templates people will just ignore you, do a bit of homework on their profile to make something personalized.

This method can take a while because you have to send a good amount of messages, but if you feel bad not being productive like I did it's worth a shot.

Happy to share some tips if you want to try it out :)
