1. Target a role and sector
Pick 1 or 2 target roles and one priority industry.
Clear targeting makes applications stronger.

Combine sources to maximize volume.
- Job boards and school platforms
- Company careers pages
- Network (alumni, mentors, LinkedIn)
3. Short and clean application
A short email + clear resume is enough. The goal is the interview.
- Clear subject line
- 2 short proof points
- Simple call to action
4. Follow up on time
Follow up at day 5-7 with a short message. It often triggers a reply.
