Nights and weekends. Assuming you work 6-8pm during the week, you can chunk out two applications a weekend until you have a pipeline of interviews.

I would also go for quality over quantity. Apply for roles you have a particular passion/fit advantage. Submit a one slider in the additional documents section on role-specific pitch (I.e., here are strategies and tactics that address challenges I’ve surmised from coffee chats, and that align with your FY21 goals). Focus on finding a referral.

Having been on the other side, you can tell who’s got hustle, and who is relying on brand.

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)
