I'm in the midst of job searching and it's an exhausting process. First, update your resume to showcase what you're looking for rather than what you've done.
Second, let your network know you're looking and to keep you in mind. Jot down a list of the type of companies, industries and positions you're seeking to give you a clear focus. Start reaching out and making new connections in those companies and fields.
Even if I'm not interested in a recruiters pitch, I send a quick thank you and I'm looking for this type of role and leave it at that instead of continuing the conversation if it's not the right fit. I made this mistake early in my job searching and wasted a lot of time.
Wishing you all the best! Don't be afraid to put yourself in the driver's seat rather than waiting for people to contact you.
