Simple hack to get you hired faster

He who laughs at himself never runs out of things to laugh at.

When I was a kid, my mom and I went to one function in our neighbourhood. They were serving Poori Chhole. We sat down on one of the red daris that they had laid down to serve food.

I took one poori and started eating. I was a slow eater.

By the time, I finished my Poori and was ready to get the 2nd one, mostly everyone had left and there were no more puris!

I know it sounds dramatic but this is exactly what happened! Omg, I am laughing while writing this 😂

I still am a slow eater but looking back, I realize there was a lesson in that…

People who act fast are the ones to get successful. (even when it’s another poori 😉)

If you want to increase your odds of getting a job or want to get it faster, then be among the first few people to apply to a job.

How to implement it in your life?

  • Set up job alerts to get notified about the vacancies as soon as possible.

  • Every morning, devote atleast 1 hour to applying to jobs.

  • Apply in reverse chronological order based on the time of the job posting:

    Within 24 hours > Last 3 days > Last 7 days > More than 7 days

This hack is highly effective because if the HR finds out that there are enough good candidates in the first 100 applicants, they might decide to not even look at the other resumes.
