If you’re unemployed (or underemployed) and not hearing back from jobs, below are 3 tips to speed up your job search
1. Make it personal
If all you’re doing is applying and hoping your resume stands out, you’re doing it wrong. Make yourself a person not a piece of paper.
The easiest way to do this is to reach out directly to the hiring manager (or CEO depending on the size of the company).

2. Show passion
It’s one thing to be good at the job, it’s another to be in love with it. If you love it, they know you’ll do whatever it takes. That matters.
Side projects and extra curricular activities are a great way to show you not only want a job but want a career!

@davegerhardt is a good example of this.
He went from mid level marketer to CMO in less than 5 years because of this. Here’s a great thread about it: https://twitter.com/rocketshipjobs/status/1258781655097114625

3. Stand out from the crowd
You don’t have to do this but I promise you it helps.
Build a personal brand in the space you want to get a job.
@thisiskp_ is a great example of this, he literally got a job offer from @beondeck on twitter because of the work he was doing https://twitter.com/beondeck/status/1312221609336467456
