Tracking:
Every job application should be tracked in a spreadsheet or tool (@trello is great for this) so you have a clear view of what’s happening. Include contact info of recruiters/hiring managers, dates of interviews, dates of follow ups, and notes on stage + why you applied

Schedule:
Applying for 100 jobs in one stint during nights and weekends? Wrong. Put yourself in the mind of the recruiter and when they’re likely to review applications. Mon-Thursday AM are the best time to apply. Also, 5-10 apps a week are optimal for quality.

Job Boards:
When using @LinkedIn and any other board, make sure you look to find contact info on the person who posted the job or may be responsible for the role. You can actually see this on LinkedIn on the person’s profile page 60% of the time.

Job Boards Cont’d:
Don’t forget that while @Twitter and other social media platforms may not be deemed as job boards, they 1000% are. Shoot your shot often, and use hashtags to search for opportunities. This is a great place to enhance your professional brand too.
