Daily Job Search Strategy
Step Action Notes
1️⃣ Apply for 30 jobs/day Use batching: 10 in morning, 10 midday, 10 evening. Use saved searches to speed things up.
2️⃣ Use Google strategically Try "site:careers.company.com job title" or "intitle:job job title location" to find hidden gems.
3️⃣ Save job descriptions as PDFs Use Print → Save as PDF or browser extensions. Organize by folder: Applied/CompanyName/JobTitle.pdf.
4️⃣ Be specific with job titles Search for exact roles like “Cloud Support Engineer” or “DevOps Intern” rather than generic terms.
5️⃣ Use LinkedIn’s “<10 applicants” filter Prioritize these for higher visibility. Combine with “Easy Apply” for speed.
6️⃣ Internships & volunteering Look for open-source projects, nonprofit tech roles, or startup gigs. Experience is experience.
7️⃣ Network intentionally Message alumni, attend virtual meetups, comment on posts. Ask for advice, not jobs.
8️⃣ Tailor your resume Use keywords from the job description. Highlight relevant projects and skills.
9️⃣ Write a compelling cover letter Focus on how you solve problems, not just what you’ve done. Keep it concise and specific.
🔟 Optimize LinkedIn Use a strong headline, detailed experience, and a custom URL. Ask for endorsements.
1️⃣1️⃣ Commit to learning Take short courses, build projects, or write blog posts. Show growth and curiosity.
Setup google alerts with scripts running on topics like new job postings on your favorite companies. Be organized, keep a spreadsheet and do followups 1-2 weeks after apply. Find a recruiter at said company and message them.
Use a spreadsheet or Notion board with columns like:
Company
Job Title
Date Applied
Status (Applied, Interviewing, Rejected)
PDF Link
Notes (e.g., who you networked with)
