Job Search

Order matters. Don't touch the resume until the target is locked.

1. Define the target first: role title, company type (startup/enterprise/ agency), seniority level, preferred industry. Vague targeting → spray-and- pray → low response rates.
2. Resume tailored to target: once you know what you're optimizing for, cut everything that doesn't serve it.
3. Outreach last: warm intros beat cold applications 10:1. LinkedIn connections who can refer > job boards.
