One of the biggest mistakes applicants make is treating the job post like a checklist.
Think of a dating profile:
6’4”. Full head of hair. Multimillionaire. Owns a yacht. Six-pack. Loves kids. Adventurous. Funny. Emotionally available. Michelin-level cook. Speaks four languages. Loves dogs. Plays guitar.
Good luck.
Companies do the same thing.
The job post is what they WANT. Your job is to discover what they NEED.
FIND THE REAL PROBLEM
ONE CONVERSATION CAN CHANGE YOUR APPLICATION
Before applying, find someone at the company and ask for a 10-minute call.
Why are they hiring?
What happened to the last person?
What’s the biggest problem?
What systems do they use?
That information is gold.
Now you’re not applying against a wishlist.
You’re showing them you can solve their actual problem.
