I'm sorry to hear about your illness, I hope you're doing better now.

Personally I have found the market to be quite good recently, at least based on my LinkedIn inbound.

Something that might help is to condense your resume to 1-2 pages. There's a lot of detail in your resume and it's quite difficult to understand it at a glance.

Other than that it can help to reach out directly to people at a company your interested in working through LinkedIn rather than applying through forms. Having a coffee or online chat can open doors.

Based on your experience I'm also assuming that you've got a considerable network. Can you reach out to people you've enjoyed working with in the past?

Thank you! I am better now!

I do have quite a big network, but haven't really tapped into that at the moment!

Do you mind sharing whats your profile like(FAANG/Start-ups, Frontend/Backend etc) and the kind of inbounds you've been getting on linked-in. I just get recruiter spam that they almost never reply to!

Tap into this. Go for coffees. Ask people if they know people needing help.

There's so much spam in the job application process that having a warm intro will be extremely helpful.

There are also a lot of folks looking for work, which makes such an intro doubly helpful.

Your work network's primary purpose is to facilitate job placement. Use it! If you submit your resume to N companies every day, you should also send out a message to at least N people from your network, until you've exhausted your network.
