Sometimes, a LinkedIn connection from the past can change the course of your job search. On this bonus episode of Find Your Dream Job, Joy Reimer, the sole recruiter at Century West Engineering, shares how staying active and engaged on LinkedIn eventually led her to the role she holds today. Joy says the key is to keep showing up, stay positive, and not overlook the connections you’ve already made.

She also talks about the habits that made a difference in her search: thinking beyond a single job title, using AI tools to uncover roles she might not have found otherwise, and skipping the “easy apply” button in favor of going directly to company websites. Joy also makes the case that networking isn’t something you do only during a job search. It’s something you practice all the time. Along the way, she learned to celebrate small wins, brush off being ghosted, and trust her instincts when something didn’t feel right.
