How to make sure recruiters see your CV

People told me I was lucky when I got my dream job at Fave as Product Manager a year ago.

People told me I was lucky when I got my dream job at Fave as Product Manager a year ago. After all, Anisha, a fellow AIESEC and whom I am connected to, works there as Head of People. They thought, she was able to refer me, and that's how I was easily able to get the job. In reality, I didn't know Anisha before I started applying. The message I sent to her went like this:

=IF(F33 ="/", "",CONCATENATE("Hello ",INDEX(SPLIT(F33," "),0,1),". I am reaching out to you, because I am currently concluding my AIESEC career. After 2 years in IT on AIESEC International, I was looking for a Data / Tech / Product role in ",D33," in a Unicorn. Since you work in ",B33," I wanted to ask you about the company!)"))

Which read like this:

Hello Anisha. I am reaching out to you, because I am currently concluding my AIESEC career. After 2 years in IT on AIESEC International, I was looking for a Data / Tech / Product role in Kuala Lumpur in a Unicorn. Since you work in Fave I wanted to ask you about the company”

What does this mean? I sent over a hundred of these messages to various people using a simple application tracker that automated part of the job to me. Anisha was just another entry in my spreadsheet (I am so sorry you have to learn it that way, Anisha 😅).

Scroll all the way down if you’re only interested in the application tracker. Contact me if you just want the template.
