  • Make a list of the tools/apps/companies you like to use
  • Outbound (Make a top 10 list)
  • Inbound (review inbound recruiter outreach from the past 3 months or more)
  • Networking (who do you know, try to do some coffee chats to see if they like their company and team)
  • Cold outreach is tough (numbers game)
  • Timing - interviewing such that offers come in around the same time
• Resume & cover letter & LinkedIn & Social
  • Have these reviewed by your peers and iterate on feedback
