It’s easy to forget time-tested, well-informed job search advice amidst all the hype around new technology. Whether it’s writing a resume that is able to pass an applicant tracking system or getting to know the people behind the companies you want to work for, these simple but effective strategies can make all the difference in landing that dream role.

Start by defining what you want from your career and the type of company environment you’d like being a part of. Then, you can align your priorities with the kind of positions you’re looking for in order to narrow down your search. Once you’ve narrowed your search to specific jobs, do your research on each company. Use tools like Crunchbase to get a picture of the company’s size and financial history, details about the leadership team, investments, mergers, and much more. This provides you with a insight into the business landscape and allows you to ask meaningful questions in an interview.

Make a network that can help you get your ideal job. This includes former and present managers, coworkers, vendors and customers, friends and even acquaintances. When connecting with people in your network Be specific about the reason you’re contacting them and how they can help you.

Set goals and plan your networking, applications, and follow-ups. You’ll know exactly what you’ll need to accomplish every single day. Don’t be afraid to experiment with new things or changing your strategy if it doesn’t seem to be effective.
