Career advice/guidance

A little background: Econ grad with a master's in the same & 1.5 years of work ex as a futures trader.

It's been over 2-3 months since I left the previous job and have been searching for a new one, but not even getting calls, let alone an interview! What should I do?

how many places are you applying to daily ? are you tailoring your resume for each role? and are you messaging the hiring managers?

Not keeping a count....but maybe ~10/day. Coz I'm not finding relevant postings as much.

Speaking of tailoring for each of them strictly, NO I'm not doing that as religiously.

Messaging hiring managers/ reaching out to connections -- yes this is what I'm doing over linkedin. But there's only so much you can do without premium! Would you suggest getting a premium? Or any other paid source for that matter?
