🔥 Applying to 100+ Jobs? STOP! 🔥

Image description
If you’re blindly sending out resumes, hoping something sticks, you’re doing it wrong. ❌

Here’s why mass applications don’t work:

🚀 Recruiters ignore generic resumes – They can spot a copy-paste application from miles away.

🚀 Companies hire for skills, not spammed CVs – They want problem solvers, not job hunters.

So, what should you do instead?

👉 Tailor your resume – Align your skills with the job description. Show them why YOU are the right fit.

👉 Build a portfolio – Resumes tell, but portfolios SHOW. Whether it’s projects, case studies, or GitHub repos—let your work speak for itself.

👉 Network strategically – 80% of jobs come through referrals. Engage with industry professionals, join communities, and make genuine connections.

Quality beats quantity—always. Instead of sending 100 applications, send 10 well-crafted ones and see the difference.

What’s your job search strategy? Let’s share in the comments.👇
