It’s a fact that applying for jobs is a numbers game. Imagine applying for one job. Now imagine applying for 100 jobs. In which scenario are you more likely to be hired? I know first hand how draining it can be to apply for numerous jobs day in and day out. Are you better off using your energy to apply for the most relevant jobs or applying to any related jobs that you come across. Remember you only have a certain amount of time and energy.
If you’re a developer, by all means showcase your online portfolio. Try to describe projects and other tangible results you’ve achieved. Using coloured paper or funky fonts and formats could work against you. Look at the sector you’re applying for jobs in. What might work well in a creative industry may not work so well in Tech. If in doubt, talk to your peers and any hirers that you know.
Almost everyone I know has landed a job at some point through a recommendation or referral. Talk to your friends, family and acquaintances. You never know who might be able to put you in touch with the right people. In addition, referrals increase your chances of success. The person referring you is indirectly (sometimes directly) vouching for you. This puts you in a more trusted category from the start.
