Looking for a job is like a job in itself. There is the looking, there is the applying. there is the cover letter, there is the waiting. Then they make interviews extra-long and worse, in phases/tests - making you jump through hoops. If you see a job posting on linkedin for eg, click on the job poster, and email them directly. I start by saying "I saw an ad but don't fit all the boxes." Send them a quick descriptor and then attach my CV. Some do respond.

it’s not delusional or ego inflating, it’s not creepy or stalkerish, but I’m a good internet sleuth and try to search for the company name + “recruiter” or “talent” and show genuine interest + how I am relevant to them, it’s how I got my last gig

Also look for tips on résumés and online applications to try to increase your odds. It’s completely normal to have to send out hundreds of resumes in order to get your foot in the door!

The fact that so many marine animals biofluoresce "tells us organisms are using light in ways we don't even see," John Sparks, curator of fishes at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.
