YOUR 7-DAY ACTION PLAN
Day 1-2: Pick 20 companies from this list. Bookmark their career pages.
Day 3-4: Update your CV. Focus on reliability and willingness to learn.
Day 5: Apply to 5 companies. Don't be perfect. Just start.
Day 6: Apply to 5 more. Follow up on yesterday's applications.
Day 7: Apply to 10 more. Call to confirm receipt of applications.
PRO TIP THAT WORKS
Most people only apply online and wait.
You need to do both.
Apply online. Then go to the company in person. Ask for the HR department or manager.
Say: "I applied online for the [role]. I'm following up in person to show I'm serious."
This works. Try it.
