Stop Applying Until You Message These 3 People

Free Job Report & Strategy Call : https://howtojob.io Most job seekers apply first and hope someone notices them. That is the problem. In this video, I break down the 3 people you should message before, during, or immediately after applying for a job, so you can increase your chances of getting seen, getting replies, and getting closer to the hiring manager. You’ll learn how to reach out to: 1. The Head of HR 2. Someone doing the job you want 3. A senior person in that role Applications alone are no longer enough. If hundreds or thousands of people are applying for the same role, you need a way to stand out before your CV gets buried. This is the exact networking strategy I teach job seekers to help them generate conversations, referrals, recommendations, and interviews without relying only on job boards. ⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 — The one thing to do before applying 00:19 — Why applications alone are not enough 00:35 — The brutal reality of job competition 01:08 — The 3 people you need to message 01:13 — Person 1: The Head of HR 01:42 — What to send in your first LinkedIn connection note 02:16 — What to send after they accept 02:54 — The soft skills, hard skills, company culture question 03:27 — How to turn their answer into a meeting 04:04 — Person 2: Someone doing the exact job 04:38 — What to ask someone in your target role 05:15 — How to position your skills naturally 05:50 — Person 3: A senior person in the role 06:23 — How to ask a senior employee the right question 06:57 — How this works after you apply 07:42 — Bonus: How to make this strategy even more powerful 08:21 — What happens when you do this every day 09:01 — How to get help with your job search strategy If you want help building a smarter job search strategy, visit: https://howtojob.io We can create a free report and show you how to start networking with the right people inside your target companies.
