How to get tons of interviews
The steps are as follows:
- Step 1: Identify the right role
- Step 2: Get 10+ interviews a month
- Step 3: Pass 2 out of 10 interviews
- Step 4: Get and close on an offer
I explained how to do step 1 here.
Here's how to do step 2:
Now that you have clarity on what role to target, do the following to get yourself interviews:
1. Identify 10+ posts that fit your target role.
2. Identify the 6 most common responsibilities that show up in each post.
3. Write a resume that sells you for that post
Re-frame all your experiences to fall under those responsibilities.
4. Write an email template that pitches you for that role.
Your email should concisely demonstrate why you're the best fit for the role.
5. Identify 50+ posts per week that fit your background.
Here's a detailed explanation for how to find roles that fit your background.
6. Identify hiring managers and recruiters at those companies.
7. Get their emails
My preferred tools are signalhire and dropcontact. Alternatively, if you're on a budget, use an email generator like name2email.
8. Import those hiring managers and recruiters into an email campaign tool.
My preferred tool is Mailshake. Alternatively, if you're on a budget but have a lot of free time, manually email people.
9. Repeat steps 5 to 8 every week till your search ends.
