TACTIC OF THE WEEK

Stop applying. Start appearing.

Startup hiring managers don't spend their days reviewing inbound applications. They search. They look at LinkedIn, GitHub, and Twitter for people who are already doing the work they need done.

Before you apply to any role this week, ask yourself: if the hiring manager searched for someone with my skills right now, would they find me?

If the answer is no, that's where to start. Update your LinkedIn headline to include your core skill and the words "open to new opportunities." That single change puts you in more recruiter searches immediately.

Apply through official channels anyway — but make sure you're also visible before the application arrives.

See you next week.
