Tailor, don't spray
Ten tailored applications beat a hundred generic ones. For each role, adjust your summary and skills to mirror the posting, and check your match score before sending.
Track everything in one place
A job search is a pipeline. Without a tracker, follow-ups slip and you forget which version you sent where.
- Save roles as you find them, before they expire.
- Move each one through Applied, Interview, and Offer.
- Note the resume you used and any contacts.
The NavPeer Resume job tracker does this on a Kanban board so your whole search stays visible.
Work your network
A referral dramatically increases your odds. For every application, spend two minutes checking whether you know someone at the company — a warm intro beats the front door.
