You only apply on LinkedIn.

Many LinkedIn listings are there to advertise the company, not to fill the role. The serious roles sit on company career pages and with recruitment firms.

One CV, sent everywhere.

You ran it through an AI tool. So did the other 400 applicants, and recruiters can tell.

Here's my resume, can you make it better??

Your profile never surfaces.

Recruiters search LinkedIn by keyword. A generic profile doesn't come up, so you're not rejected, you're just never seen.

You message the wrong people, generically.

No introduction, no reason to reply. Your message reads like the hundred others they got that week.

You get the interview and lose it.

Right experience, wrong structure. You put hiring managers off without knowing which answer did it.

Tell me about yourself.

So I graduated in 2016 and then I joined a startup where I was doing a bit of everything really, design and some front end, and then after about two years I moved to a bigger company because I wanted more structure, and there I was working on the mobile team mostly, and then in 2021 I moved again because of the pandemic and I ended up in fintech which was interesting because the pace was completely different and I was learning a lot about compliance and how that affects design decisions, and then my manager left so I was sort of leading the team for a while which was good experience I think, and then around last year I started looking at what was out there because I felt like I had done everything I could in that role, and I reached out to a few people at different companies and one of them mentioned this position which seemed like a really good fit because I have the fintech background and the mobile experience and I think the way you approach product here is

LinkedIn is the tip.

Most listings on LinkedIn are a shop window for the employer's brand, and every candidate in the region is crowding onto them.

What is shown to you

There are two ways in.

Most people only try one.

Zorwa runs both at once, because the second one is where almost nobody is competing.

Our placement data is consistent. Candidates who get interviews apply to at least 45 well matched roles, spread over months rather than weeks, with a CV written for each one.

45 applications.

The minimum that reliably produces interviews. Most people stop at ten.

70% match or better.

Below that threshold you are spending effort you will not get back.

3 to 6 months.

Spread out. A hundred applications in one week performs worse than 45 over four months.

Mostly outside LinkedIn.

The majority should come from company career pages and recruitment firms.

A CV per application.

Written against that job description, not adapted from the last one.

Visible while you apply.

A profile that surfaces in recruiter searches, and direct outreach to whoever posted the role.
