If you have the ability to invest money, I highly recommend hiring a good career coach. I think that at this point, the hiring process is so complicated that the best way we even have an edge is by having that inside HR perspective. They can help pump up your resume, find people to connect with, start that conversation, and get out of the cycle of submitting resumes they never look at.
Another thing you can do: for those in roles that you want to be in, ask them for an informational interview, but do not ask them for a job. The important thing is having that face-to-face and establish that connection. In these situations, they may ask to help out without you asking for anything.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
