Want to apply less, but get more results? Here are the top five ways to move the application needle:
1. Optimize your LinkedIn profile and start thoughtfully engaging online.
2. Record and feature a video resume on your LinkedIn profile, website, portfolio, and in job applications.
3. Target the roles and companies you’re genuinely interested in.
4. Follow up with every application and interview – even if you don’t get the job.
5. Take breaks. Job hunting can be extremely stressful, especially in today’s market. Protecting your health and taking periodic breaks will help you see things a little clearer – and land that interview when the right time comes.
