Your 30-Day Job Search Blueprint: Stand Out and Land Interviews

If you’ve been applying for weeks without a response, avoid sending the same CV to every vacancy. This 30-day plan will help you apply strategically and stand out. First, pick only two target roles. Rewrite your CV headlines to match each role. Then build a proof folder with work samples, a short case study and a polished profile summary. Track every application in a sheet, noting the company, role, source, application date, follow-up date and outcome. Before submitting, match five keywords from the job advert in your CV. Follow up once after five to seven working days with a short, polite message. Spend at least 30 minutes daily refining your proof materials instead of just clicking Apply. Use this mini profile template: “Role candidate with experience in skill 1, skill 2 and task. I handled proof/result and I’m seeking role type where I can contribute to business outcome.” Share your target role and experience in the comments for tailored suggestions.
