In years past, job searching was so much easier. Now it seems you have to
- have a perfect LinkedIn profile
- Customize your resume
- Craft a unique cover letter.
- Do a project (free!)
- Network with people in the company.
- Network with people outside the company
- Have samples of your work in the same industry
- Be available to talk 24/7
- Send out thank you notes
- Follow up with recruiters
- Be SUPER interested in getting THAT specific job
Maybe I'm missing something, but you shouldn't have to jump through so many hoops just to get a job
