Should you push to get a job offer?

How to stand out in a job application: Matthew advises personalizing your outreach by researching the company and contacting the hiring manager directly (via email or LinkedIn) with a concise message highlighting your qualifications and how you can benefit the company.
Cold contacting for software engineering or machine learning positions: Sending a well-crafted email or LinkedIn message to the hiring manager is acceptable, but avoid phone calls. Focus on your skills and the value you bring.
Following up on applications: If you haven't heard back after applying, a brief email reiterating your candidacy is okay. Don't call for updates.

The episode also features success stories from listeners who used the podcast's advice to land jobs!
