I have been applying via linkedin, company portal which show up on google search but somehow nothing is working out, cold dm, emails almost all eventually ending in radio silence. Not asking for some shortcut just that it all isn't making sense.

I think there's also something to be said to just "doing things" that are in the public eye.

What I mean by that is that (part of) the reason I got the job I'm at right now is because I happened to do something at an org that my boss worked at years prior. It wasn't a "connection" in the sense that we knew each other or ever crossed paths, but it still got me a foot in the door.

If you can make a meaningful contribution to a well known project or organization that will open doors via "connections" that you never knew existed.
