Don’t Overthink It
Think clearly, act concisely.
That’s a good formula to get a job.
The first thing you have to do is stop and think. Don’t just mindlessly ship out applications and resumes. Think about roles and companies that interest you and what you can send them to really get their attention.
Then stop thinking!
People who are sharp enough to stop and think about the job hunt instead of just plodding along like the masses are often also people who can think too much. Don’t overthink!
Pick a few good targets. Make them something hard to ignore. Send it. Follow up.
That’s it. It doesn’t need to be perfect. Just deliberate, genuine, and persistent.
P.S. Follow us on Twitter. It’s fun. Don’t think twice about it. ; )
