How are those job applications coming along? Are you scouring websites and sending out cold submissions on those irritating forms? If you\u2019re still reading, I guess that what you\u2019ve been getting back from your efforts is \u2026 crickets. What\u2019s that about?<\/p>\n

Stay with me and we\u2019ll find a better way to get you that next gig.<\/p>\n

But first, I will hypothesize the crickets scenario. Someone within a company needs to hire, say, a designer, a strategist, or an engineer for their team.

These HR folks are usually excellent and always overworked, but they don\u2019t fully get the subtleties of the specific position and the characters involved. How could they? They are dealing with far more open positions across multiple teams than they can possibly handle with brilliance. However, they do have a trove of prior job descriptions they can mine to make an impressive cut-and-paste spec for this position.<\/p>\n
