On this page
LinkedIn is where many job searches happen—but the challenge is moving fast while staying relevant.
The core workflow
1) find roles that match your strengths
2) tailor your CV to the posting
3) apply quickly
4) track what you sent and follow up
Tool categories that help
1) CV tailoring assistants
Best for: speed + relevance.
