If I were looking for a new job, I'd optimize my LinkedIn profile by making sure to include relevant work experience and skills. Additionally, I'd make sure that my summary reflects who I am and why potential employers should take notice of me. To further stand out from the crowd, networking within industry-specific groups would also help increase visibility. Finally, connecting with recruiters could result in more personalized job opportunities tailored to me.

I would try to be polite and tactful by gently changing the topic of conversation or excuse myself if I felt it was too uncomfortable.

If I were suddenly trapped in a time loop, reliving the same day over and over, I'd try to use my knowledge of what will happen throughout the day to make positive changes. I might reach out more to people who need help or support me with their own struggles. Despite being shy by nature, maybe this could be an opportunity for me to take some risks that wouldn't have been possible otherwise.
