With all the buzz around new job-search technology it’s easy to forget some solid, timeless career-search advice. When it comes to writing a resume that gets past an applicant tracking system or getting to know the people behind the companies you’d like to be employed by, these easy but effective strategies can make all the difference in landing that next job.

Begin by defining your goals for your career and the type of environment you would like to be in. Then, you can align your priorities with the kinds of jobs you’re seeking in order to narrow down your search. After you’ve narrowed down your search to specific positions, research every company. Use tools like Crunchbase to get a snapshot of the size of the company and funding history, as well as the company’s leadership, investment history, mergers and more. This will give you a sense of context around the industry landscape and will help you ask the right questions in an interview.

Make a network that can assist you in finding your dream job. This includes former and current coworkers, managers, customers and colleagues, as well as friends and acquaintances. When interacting with people in your network Be specific about the reason you’re contacting them and how they can benefit you.

Set goals and keep your applications, networking efforts and follow-ups in order. This will give you an idea of what you’ll need to accomplish every week. Don’t be afraid try new things or adjust your plan if you feel it’s not working.
