A 4-Step system to land job interviews
If I lost my job tomorrow and had to start from zero, I wouldn’t panic.
I’d follow a system. One that’s worked for me, for my clients, and for hundreds of digital professionals trying to break back in
Here’s what I’d do, step by step 👇
✅ Step 1. Pause and Get Clear Before Applying to Anything
Most people jump straight into job boards.
Instead, I’d grab a blank page and get brutally honest about my positioning.
- What specific problems do I solve?
- How do I prove the impact I made?
- Who’s my ideal employer?
- Who decides on hiring there?
This helps me rewrite my CV, LinkedIn, and portfolio with purpose….
…it’s no longer about what I did.
It’s about why it matters.

🤖 Step 2. I’d do smart research (and let AI help).
I’d review 10–15 relevant job descriptions and understand how companies are talking. What words they use. What they value. Then I’d ask GPT something like: 🧠 “Analyze my CV and LinkedIn vs. this job description. What am I missing? How do I get past ATS filters?”
📊 Step 3. I’d build a job search system that works like a funnel and treat it like a campaign.
- Inform my closest network I’m actively looking
- Set alerts on LinkedIn & Indeed (and check daily)
- Make a target list of 50 companies that fit my values and strengths.
- Connect with key people inside those companies.
- Send a personalized message expressing interest and asking for a referral.
- Follow up (because most people won’t reply the first time).
📢 Step 4. I’d make noise (in a good way). Looking is great. But people need to see me.
- Go to in-person networking events where I can meet with other peers.
- Post and comment meaningfully on Linkedin posts positioning myself as an expert
Visibility builds trust before the interview even happens.
Is it a lot? Yes.
But looking for a job is a job.
Final Thought
And like any job, it works best when you have a system.
Will it feel like a lot? Yes.
Will it pay off? Absolutely.
This 4-step system has helped dozens of my clients land high-impact roles faster, with more confidence and less burnout.
With a clear plan, a strong brand, and smart networking, you’ll go from “invisible applicant” to “person they already know.”
