Job searching can be a challenging and uncertain time. Yet, every day, several job offers are posted on specialized websites and professional networks.
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed… But with the right reflexes, you can really make a difference.
Here are four simple tips, according to DELAN, to maximize your chances:
📄 1. Carefully read job descriptions
Many candidates forget the content of the positions they apply to. This can harm their application.
Take the time to read each description carefully. Only apply if the position matches your skills, values, and goals.
“The goal isn’t to apply everywhere, but to the right place”
This will increase your chances of finding the right match and better prepare you for interviews.

📝 2. Customize your CV
Your resume is your best tool to land the job of your dreams. It should speak for you before you’re even contacted.
One resume for all positions? That’s not a good strategy.
Each position is unique. Highlight:
- Your technical and soft skills
- The key requirements mentioned in the offer
- Concrete and measurable achievements
- Your recent certifications or training related to the position
👉 The more tailored your CV is, the faster you’ll grab recruiters’ attention.
And don’t forget: your LinkedIn profile is just as important! Take the time to optimize it to strengthen your professional credibility.

🎯 3. Team up with recruitment specialists
Working with an IT recruiter gives you a concrete advantage. It increases your chances of being selected for the position you’re applying for.
Specialized recruiters:
- understand the nuances of your profile
- represent you to employers
- know details that aren’t always mentioned (team values, projects, technical background, etc.)
Plus, you save time and increase efficiency throughout the process.
