One of my close friends is a job manager in Google. She recently published an open job in her team and was immediately mired in requests. We are talking about thousands of applicants within days.

But what surprised me most is the terrible quality of the average application. It is clear that most of the applicants were not qualified or fully fabricated fake profiles. Use AI Tolide To fill the requests automatically (and in some cases, the requests) are harmful to everyone; Employers cannot liquidate through noise, and legal candidates have difficulty noticing – less progressive to an interview.

This problem exists even for companies that do not have Magnetism From the Google brand. Employment is a numbers game with minimal possibilities. When artificial intelligence becomes increasingly dominant, searching for a function can be impossible.

How can job searchers stand out between the flood of the candidates? When there are hundreds or thousands of applicants, the best way to distinguish yourself is
By taking advantage of your network.

With artificial intelligence, anyone with a computer can apply trivia to thousands of jobs. On the other hand, people are restricted by Dunbar number – the idea that humans can only maintain stable social relationships with about 150 people. Being one of these 150 people is more difficult, but it also carries a greater weight than applying the job without a soul.

Referred from a reliable connection that immediately raises you as a promising candidate. Your goal, therefore, is to follow the opportunities strongly based on the people you have worked with.

A strong referral that has two benefits:

1. Your profile gets to increase visibility.
2. You “borrow” the credibility of the person who made a vote on confidence.

How do you get one of these desired referrals? Start with groups, you are part of that you have good acceptance criteria. The most common, this will be your university or Workplace. Communicate with university graduates who work in interesting roles, or re -contact with a previous hall to find out what they reach.

Good luck there!
