If you notice this on a job description, for SURE apply. I recently helped one of my clients with a rare application requirement: Include a 1 minute intro video. I was really glad to see this, because I know most people won’t go through the trouble to record a video. I knew the candidate pool was going to be very small, giving my client an advantage. Because if it’s comfortable, it’s crowded. When it’s easy for you, it’s also easy for thousands of people. These “”””shortcuts”””” aren’t actually helpful for you. Don’t hit the “”””Easy Apply”””” button for 50 jobs on LinkedIn and call it a day. Don’t think these AI auto-appliers are the answer to getting more interviews. Don’t stop after the first reach out. Don’t send generic emails that could be sent to anyone. Take it one step further to be in the top 5% of candidates. So few people do this. If you really want to stand out, take that extra step and go deeper. If it’s comfortable, then it’s crowded. Where others see obstacles, see it as an opportunity. Get uncomfortable to stand out. To help you take it one step further I’ll link my Follow Up Email Templates in my bio!
