Yeh article aapko bataega kaise quality over quantity approach se kam applications mein zyada results paayein.

1. Smart Application Strategy (Roz Sirf 5-10)

❌ Purana Tarika:
Same resume, 100 companies, quick apply button

✅ Naya Smart Tarika:

Day 1: 5 applications (2 dream companies, 3 good fits)
Day 2: Research + Networking (no applications)
Day 3: 5 applications (customized for each)
Day 4: Follow-ups + Skill building
Day 5: Repeat cycle

Why This Works:

  • Har application customized hoti hai
  • Research time milta hai
  • Follow-up kar sakte hain
  • Mental fatigue nahi hota

2. Job Portals Ko Smartly Use Karein

LinkedIn – Sabse Powerful Tool

Smart Profile Setup:
