Set a focus before applying
Choose a primary role and one adjacent role. Save a few real listings and highlight the tasks that recur. Compare those tasks with what you have done, then keep two or three examples to reuse in a résumé or interview.
Use a weekly sequence
- Research employers and pick openings that fit your goals.
- Tailor your résumé to the tasks and responsibilities of each role.
- Contact one person with a specific question about a team or hiring process.
- Practice a short story about a result you helped produce.
- Review responses and change one part of the approach for the following week.
