Job searching often feels like hitting a wall.
Apply, apply, apply, and wait.
What if you could track real progress?
Imagine consistent feedback
Every day brings new learning.
Four weeks in, you’re 40% there.
By week 10, expect to land a great job.
It feels less frustrating this way.
Here are 5 ways to get there:
1. Pick a Specific Job Title and Company Profile:
Be specific, not general.
Example: “Social Media Coordinator at a <50 employee startup”
It gets more referrals than “online marketing.”
2. Use LinkedIn for Informational Interviews:
Find people in your dream job.
Ask about their experiences.
You’ll get insights and possibly referrals.
3. Evaluate and Network:
If the job fits, network.
If not, revise your job title and repeat.
4. Network Aggressively:
Email contacts bi-weekly.
Connect with hiring managers.
Attend meetups. Specific requests get more responses.
5. Leverage Interviews for Feedback:
Post-interview, ask contacts for feedback.
Improve continuously until you land the job.
This approach is structured
And hopefully less anxious
You know your progress at any point.
It’s likely to land you a better job than the traditional resume blast.
Hope that helps
