1. Clarify role and level
A clear target makes applications more relevant.
Pick 1 or 2 roles with stable keywords.
2. Build a simple pipeline
A visible pipeline prevents missed follow-ups.
- To review
- Sent
- Follow-up 1
- Follow-up 2
- Interview
- Offer
3. Job sources and network
Combine job boards, company sites and networking to increase volume.
- Job boards (LinkedIn, Indeed, Welcome)
- Company career pages
- Network and cold outreach
4. Realistic weekly cadence
Aim for a consistent volume rather than peaks.
- 5 to 10 applications per week
- 2 planned follow-ups
- 1 mock interview
5. Follow-ups and short messages
Follow-ups increase reply rates. Keep them short and polite.
- Follow-up 1 at day 5-7
- Follow-up 2 at day 12-14
- One value line + clear question
6. Weekly review and KPIs
Track conversion imported -> sent -> interview -> offer.
If interviews are low, review resume or targeting.
- Interview rate per sent
- Reply rate after follow-up
- Number of prepared roles per week
