Make Your Resume Shine
First things first, your resume needs to look its best. Imagine it’s like your superhero costume for getting jobs. Make sure it’s easy to read and shows off your best skills.

Secret Tips to Find Less Crowded Jobs
Now, let’s dive into the cool stuff with three secret tips to find jobs with fewer applicants:
Look for Unique Jobs
- Defense Jobs: Some jobs don’t sound like others, especially in defense or those needing a special security clearance. The cool part? Some jobs will help you get this clearance, opening doors to work on secret projects!
- Weird Titles: Some jobs have strange titles that most people won’t search for. Watch the video below that I’ve got lists of these odd titles and where to find them to give you a head start.
Consider working somewhere unexpected, even if it’s just for a short time. Moving to a new place can sound scary, but it can also be an adventure! It could be your ticket to break into a new field or land a promotion. Imagine working in cyber security or becoming a manager because you were willing to take a chance and move.
Use Smart Search Strategies
- Use filters on job websites to find roles with less than 10 applicants. This makes it way more likely for you to get noticed.
- Look for jobs in smaller towns or cities. Sometimes these places have great jobs but not enough people to fill them.
- Apply fast! Try to be one of the first to apply by looking for the most recently posted jobs.
