Applying to 200 jobs and hearing nothing is demoralising — and avoidable. Treat the search like a sprint with daily goals.
The plan
- Day 1: Define your target role and three must-have criteria.
- Day 2: Rewrite your resume around that role.
- Day 3: Build a list of 25 target companies.
- Day 4–5: Apply with tailored resumes; track every application.
- Day 6: Reach out to 5 people for referrals.
- Day 7: Review, refine, repeat.
Quality over volume. Ten tailored applications beat a hundred generic ones.
