Briefly

Preeti Ladwa, who graduated with a master's in information systems in May 2023, struggled for months to secure a job. After numerous interviews without an offer, she revamped her strategy in January 2024. By waking up at 5 a.m. and applying for jobs posted within the last 24 hours, she was able to submit fewer applications but with greater success. This disciplined approach led her to a job offer as a technical projects manager within a few months, emphasizing the impact of timing and selectivity in job applications. She later received a promotion with increased salary.
