The best ways to get a new job

If you are considered senior management, headhunting agencies and LinkedIn are the way to go. ALONG WITH Networking. Reach out to people you know at the companies / jobs you see advertised.

If below senior management, local placement agencies, LinkedIn and sites like dice.com etc are great. You uploading a resume will trigger off actions. Just be really ready with your resume when you upload, recruiters look once and if not interested, they dont come back. Dont upload a half hearted attempt. Also these days crawlers (think search engines) look over resumes for keywords and push them to recruiters. So dont just say you are a Java developer, put in the things that make you shine - like hey you coded artificial intelligence (AI) in Java and Python. The bots will look for AI, RPA, Java, Python together in search strings and push you to the top of the pile.

Best of luck.

I know this is not directly related to layoffs, but I found this post by @WsOF3Ty-jdp on another thread on the DXC board and thought that it may provide some helpful info for the folks that are looking for a new job.

Really helpful information for once thank you especially when so many people are going through WFR as we speak. +1

Agree with all .... we know what it takes to be a valued employee within a culture we are attracted to and what attracts us . If you are an ex DXC employee , as I am , it’s hard to believe a culture could get so vile , as to actually wake the sleeping masses that want change and are now demanding it . Human respect is only right . Too bad DXC has failed to learn this until it was too late .

Use these tools with wisdom and know that all those who have felt the sting of WFR is behind you in attaining success no matter how you measure it .

You have worth . Don’t sell it short .

During interviews, ask THEM questions to find out more about their culture and read their own employee comments on glassdoor for any consistent trends. After all, you don't want to walk into another DXC do you?

Agree

1) Networking. Reach out to those that have left before you.

2) Go on interviews. Even if you're not looking for a new job go on an interview every few months to keep in practice and see what sort of options you have.

3) Headhunters. Mixed-bag, but I constantly have headhunters calling me up. If your resume is in with them and anything comes close to matching they're giving you a call. Annoying, unless you're actually looking for a job. They have access to a lot more resources than you do.
