Alli Peck says most job applications fail because people apply everywhere with the same resume. Skip Easy Apply, ditch generic cover letters, build a portfolio, then contact two employees at the company with a short Loom video intro. That's how you get interviews.
Your resume is not the problem. And while we're at it, job searching isn't a numbers game. It's not about quantity of applications. It's about quality. I'm gonna tell you what a high quality application looks like. Here we go. First of all, you're not clicking Easy Apply. You're going to the company's site and applying there. Forget the COVID letter. You need to include a project portfolio. If you don't know how to make one, let me know. I'll help you. Next, after you apply, you need to contact two people that work at that company. Make them a short intro video using Loom and send it over. That's how you stand out, that's how you get an interview, and that's how people are getting jobs.
