#37 (Stop Spraying and Praying Your Job Search)

𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗧𝗜𝗞 𝗧𝗢𝗞: 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗦𝗽𝗿𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗝𝗼𝗯 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵

This is what too many job hunters are doing when they just upload their resume to job boards and hit “apply” without targeting. It’s the job hunting equivalent of “spraying and praying” – sending your info out into the void without strategy or connection.

If you want to actually get responses from employers instead of being one of hundreds of faceless applicants, you need a better approach. Focus on personal branding – build your online profile, share industry updates. Leverage your network – reach out to contacts and ask if their company is hiring. Do strategic outreach – research companies you want to work for and find the right person to send a personalized message to.

Those tactics take more effort up front but will get you much farther than a numbers game on job boards. Think macro, not micro. Develop your personal brand, make meaningful connections, do smart research. That’s how you land interviews and score the jobs you really want. No more spraying and praying – it’s time to level up your job search game.
