Ask HN: What job search strategies work for you?

I’ve been laid off since June and have not been getting responses from most of my applications other than denials. I have 10+ years mostly Ruby/React/JS. New just working on a side project (job listing scraper) but curious what is working well for you? Specific apps or strategies that lead to your hiring?

You get actually denials so you get responses? I still have my job but I was sending CV out just to check and I basically did not even get a single reply besides automated "thanks, we received your application".

It is also not that my CV sucks because in 2020 and 2021 I was sending out my CV and was getting calls or replies the next day.
