Being organised in your job search can make the process faster and easier.

Reach out to companies via their websites, schedule meetings with hiring managers, attend career fairs, search for vacancies on social media and purchase career counselling services. You can use search engines to find vacancies on job portals and company websites. Email your contacts in the industry to find out if they know of any vacancies. Sign up for weekly job alerts wherever you can.
Resume Customization.
Change your resume a little before applying to every job. Study the job description and then add them to your skills, adapt your experiences to correlate with the position and write achievements that may impress the concerned potential employer. Your resume should be such that it can be read quickly and it should highlight the skills you have required for the position. You can have multiple templates of your resume and customize them accordingly. Keep the education and contact information the same for every interview but personalize job duties according to the job you apply for.
Research the Companies.
Research the companies before you attend interviews.

Your research may bring you insight if their work environment is suitable for you or not. You can also use some of the information you learn through your research in your cover letter or during the interview.
