Job search guides

Practical pages on applying, reading a posting, keeping a record, and writing again when nobody replies. They do not quote a response rate or a weekly quota. Role-by-role notes live under resume tips, cover letters, and application questions.

• How to apply to jobs fasterPrepare the resume and the repeated answers once, then change only what this posting changes.
• How many jobs to apply to per weekSet this week's number from the hours you will keep, not from a stranger's quota.
• ATS-friendly resume basicsSelectable text, ordinary headings, and keywords you can point at in the bullets.
• How to tailor a resume to a job postingMove the closest true proof up, and use their word only when it is your work.
• Follow-up email after applyingOne short note when you have a real address and something true to add.
• Job application trackerRecord the role, the resume you sent, and a status you can verify.
• How to read a job descriptionSeparate the duties from the decoration before you rewrite a resume.
• Quick apply vs tailored applicationsSend the current resume when it already matches. Rewrite the emphasis when it does not.
• Job search while employedKeep the search off your employer's devices, and keep the list short enough to finish.
• No response after applyingSilence is not a coded verdict. Check what you can, then move the work forward.
• How to write a resume summaryA few lines: the title, the work, the setting, and one proof you can say out loud.
• Resume keywords from a job postingCollect duties you have done, then place each word next to the proof.
