Excerpt from a YouTube interview (Kevin 'KD' Dorsey hosting Kyle Norton) advising job seekers that blindly applying on company career pages is usually ineffective. Instead, secure interviews through personalized outreach: research the company, craft a tight value proposition tailored to a contact (e.g., 'Hey Katie...this is how I fit'), and request a call.
If you want the great job at the Good Company, where you definitely can't get an interview, just applying. Just applying online, which is most of the time. Like, applying randomly to people's career page is a total waste of time. Do it, because then you're in leaver and it's easier for me to, like, go flag you. But all of getting, securing the interview is in the. The personalized outreach, the research, and having, like, a really tight value prop. It's like, hey, Katie, I noticed this on your career page. This is how I fit that mold. This is why I'm great. Can we hop on a call?
