The Job Hunt Isn’t a Numbers Game
What’s frustrating about the job hunt is finding job postings. You end up applying to as many as possible. Because it’s a numbers game, right?
Well, maybe it’s not. What if you dialed in on just a few companies? Be super picky. Then do some research, and send ‘em a custom application that stands out from the crowd.
So where to find cool companies? One spot is Crunchbase, where you can do a search of startups. This article shows how.
