How did you find your last job?

In this terrible market, I see so many people mass applying and hoping for the best. Lots of complaints about being ghosted, 500+ apps - 500+ rejections. So I would love to hear from anyone who has secured a role in the last 12-18 months. How did you find your last/current job?

Traditional application?

Referral?

Outreach

Connection

Networking

Etc

I found my last role through connecting with former colleagues. Few weeks after doing that someone in their team was recruiting and I landed an interview with them outside the usual process.
