Like, did you start opening up your DMs and start messaging people? Because you didn't, you didn't mass apply. No, I had been at Smile long enough. Everyone kind of knew that's where I worked and people were reaching out to me. That was really the first few weeks was figuring out, okay, who do I know? What do they have? That's always gonna lead to more success than just cold applying.
