It's no wonder that applications don't work. I can confirm this, but I just quit wasting time on them, went via contacts network.

What surprised me is that the OP had no reaction for personal messages.

I guess you missed this part: "manually messaging EACH of my 250 linkedin contacts asking if they had any leads"

I guess you missed the 3rd sentence of the 3 sentence post.

I saw it. "no reaction for personal messages" - presumably, reaching out to contacts means sending personal messages.

Please explain to me like I'm five what point I'm missing here.

Yes, and culebron21 read that in the article and found it surprising that they did that with no success.

To be frank, I do too. I think my network could shake out a few jobs.
