Half of a job search is applying. The other half is being findable when someone is looking
That means your profile headline says what you do rather than where you work, your skills list contains the words a recruiter would actually search for, and your last two roles have one line each explaining what you owned. Recruiters search by keyword. A profile that is beautifully written but omits the term "React" will not be returned for React.
Update it before you start applying, not after.

What is the Job Search Strategy community?
Tactics for running a job search that actually converts - where to apply, how often to follow up, and how to read a job description.

- Track your applications somewhere you will actually look
- A job search generates far more rejection per week than most jobs do per year, and it arrives without explanation
- Cover letters matter in about a third of applications, and you usually cannot tell which third
- Networking works badly when it is framed as networking and well when it is framed as interest
- Apply one band up as well as at your level, and be honest about both
- Research pay before the first conversation, not after the offer
