- Sourcing where you want to apply
- Make a list of the tools/apps/companies you like to use
- Outbound (Make a top 10 list)
- Inbound (review inbound recruiter outreach from the past 3 months or more)
- Networking (who do you know, try to do some coffee chats to see if they like their company and team)
- Cold outreach is tough (numbers game)
- Timing - interviewing such that offers come in around the same time
- Resume & cover letter & LinkedIn & Social
- Have these reviewed by your peers and iterate on feedback
- Make sure you communicate the things you’ve done that add value, ideally how much value you’ve added. Situation Behavior Impact (SBI) is a good framework for bullets
