"In March, I was becoming increasingly unhappy and stressed out at work, so I started applying to multiple jobs a day. Even within the short time that I was back in the job market, from March to June, it was getting worse, and I started to panic. I was having no luck landing a new role. I was primarily applying for roles on LinkedIn, and as I scrolled, I saw jobs posted with a hundred or even thousands of applicants."
"It wasn't until I paid closer attention to how I searched for jobs that I found the "under 10 applicants" filter on LinkedIn, which helped me land my next role within about a month of using it. I reentered the job market to find a better career I studied education in college and taught elementary school for several years before I started working for a local retail company, where I oversaw employee training."

After experimenting with LinkedIn filters, she discovered the 'under 10 applicants' option, targeted low-competition roles, and secured a new position within about a month of using that filter.
