Remember: Finding a job is a sales process. You are selling a $1,000,000+ product (yourself over N years of anticipated tenure). How would you approach making a million dollar sale if it wasn’t called a job?
Do that.
Your CV or resume is sales collateral. Focus on warm and hot leads over cold calling. Vet your leads with conversation, make sure you really can solve their problems, then give them your sales material. Preferably optimized for the lead in question.
If possible make the sale before interviews even begin. That way they’re just a rubber stamp and smoke test for red flags.
