5 “cheat codes” for 80% Job Search success with 20% of the work:

Resume:
→ One-column, simple font/format
→ Included a ‘Career Highlights’ section
→ Focused on accomplishments, not tasks

LinkedIn:
→ Tagline shows who I help and how I help them
→ Used my LinkedIn banner real estate wisely
→ Crisp and smiling profile picture

Building my network:
→ Engaged with 10 relevant posts daily
→ Sent 1 connection request a day
→ Built relationships in the DMs

Interviews:
→ Dressed for success
→ Did my company research
→ Prepared stories on my experiences

Job Search Mindset:
→ No one owes me a job
→I just need 1 ‘YES’ to succeed
→ Consistency is absolutely key

This is not an exhaustive list.

These are the areas of my job search that created the most leverage and what I would do if my time was limited.
