One would think so, but so far, all I'm met with are the companies' gatekeepers aka recruiters. Esp. on LinkedIn.
I'm spending hours on my resume for each job that I apply to, b/c I have a lot of strikes against me (age, lots of temp jobs, not stable employment).
I have actually been rejected for internships that I applied to just recently, too.
The shotgun approach of just sending out resumes in the blind, via cover letters, has never worked for me, anyway, so it's not something I do.
But I'm fed up with recruiters. I hate them. They are like cockroaches. They're everywhere, they hiss at you, and they are a nuisance.
