The steps are as follows:

Step 1: Identify the right role

Step 2: Get 10+ interviews a month

Step 3: Pass 2 out of 10 interviews

Step 4: Get and close on an offer

I explained how to do step 1 here: http://surl.li/dtupx

Here's how to do step 2:

Now that you have clarity on what role to target, do the following to get yourself interviews:

1. Identify 10+ posts that fit your target role.

2. Identify the 6 most common responsibilities that show up in each post.

3. Write a resume that sells you for that post by re-framing all your experiences to fall under those  responsibilities.

4. Write an email template that pitches you for that role.

Your email should concisely demonstrate why you're the best fit for the role.

7. Get their emails. My preferred tools are signalhire and dropcontact.

Alternatively, if you're on a budget, use an email generator like name2email.

8. Import those hiring managers and recruiters into an email campaign tool.

My preferred tool is Mailshake.

Alternatively, if you're on a budget but have a lot of free time, manually email people.

9. Repeat steps 5 to 8 every week till your search ends.
