Job Search Strategy Approach

Job search strategy is a methodical approach to finding and landing jobs. It involves identifying target companies, researching decision-makers, building a personal brand (LinkedIn, portfolio, blog), networking, cold outreach, applying online, engaging with recruiters, and negotiating offers. A strategic approach produces 3-5x more interviews than passive job board applications. Key insight: 70% of jobs are filled by referrals or internal promotion, not public applications. Strategic job search leverages this reality.
