New here but desperately looking for some help…

At the beginning of the year I decided to transition out of a career in the public sector into the corporate world. The position I took soon after de solved my position and now I have been on the search for employment. I have the experience needed for the positions I have applied for but have yet to get an interview.

I recently applied for a position with 3M that is absolutely perfectly aligned with my experience and strengths, but I’m worried I will again be overlooked. Does anyone know if this particular company works with headhunters or can recommend a headhunter for me to work with to land the perfect position?

Typically if you're not getting a response to your applications it's either the resume or the positions you're applying for. You may feel that you're perfect for the position but will the hiring manager think that after reviewing your resume?
As a general rule, recruiters don't find jobs for people, we find people for jobs.
You may want to research recruiting firms that specialize in your particular industry or niche and reach out to them. But no one would be able to help you with a position at 3M because you've already applied there.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Good luck in your jobsearch!
