In my quest to find a better job, I have streamlined my system for finding and applying for job postings.
What I first do is look on Indeed or ZipRecruiter for a position I could fill.
Next I add this to a persistent Note on my Nextcloud instance. This way, I can look at it on my laptop, tablet, or desktop computer later, and check out other facts on the job post at my leisure.
After that, I will take a “template” résumé and edit it to match some of the language in the job posting (in places where I have the required skill).
For instance, if it requires experience with backup systems, I’ll write in that I have worked with backup solutions such as Simple Backup, as well as backing up the data on my webservers.
I save this to a directory which is shared on my Nextcloud instance so that I can, again, edit the résumé on my laptop or desktop computer when I can.
When I am satisfied with this version of my résumé, I apply for the job with that résumé.
