• Focusing on results, not volume: Ditch the endless resume applications. This method prioritizes targeted outreach to secure first interviews.
• Leveraging technology, not intuition: Use tools like Excel, Google, and LinkedIn to research and shortlist dream companies.
• Networking strategically, not broadly: Forget generic “leverage your network” advice. Learn how to find and reach decision-makers at target companies.
• Personalization over mass applications: Craft direct outreach emails tailored to specific contacts, avoiding generic templates.
• Systemized approach, not random search: Follow a 3-step process of identifying, prioritizing, and contacting companies efficiently, minimizing wasted time.
