I automated my job search to land 30+ interviews at technology startups. Here's how.

Selling yourself is just as hard as selling a product.

Here's how I automated my job search process to landed 30+ interviews with a few hours of work. (I've used a similar process to land clients (: )

Hope it helps you or another hacker in some way!

Step 1:

I use Crunchbase Pro’s company search feature to get a list of companies I’m interested in and their relevant contact emails. I use the filter feature to filter for US based companies that fit the industry, company stage, etc. that I’m looking for.

Step 2:

I export the list from Crunchbase and input it into Hunter.io’s bulk email verification tool. This validates that all the emails are legitimate.

Step 3:

I then import the verified list into Hunter's email campaign sender tool. This allows you to send semi-personalized emails to thousands of people at once.

Step 4:

I then write a cold email explaining who I am & link my background.

Step 5:

I then run the email campaign. One of my email campaigns had a 24% response rate and led to ~30 interviews.

The email you write and how you tell your story determines your results! It’s the difference between no replies and a 24% response rate.

I’m considering sharing more tips on how I’ve told stories to land offers (or interviews) at McKinsey, a16z-backed startups, and companies built by the people behind Twitch, Paypal, Jet, and more. Feel free to drop your email here if that’s interesting: https://kareemabukhadra.substack.com/
