Make it easy for the employer to find what they're looking for using a clean, structured format with a strong organizational hierarchy.

Applying for jobs
There seem to be endless options for searching for work online.
Websites such asLinkedIn , Indeed , ZipRecruiter , Mediabistro , etc. are a good place to find a job listing, but candidates must first go directly to the companies they are interested in to search for job postings .
Track your progressOrganization is key
Set up a folder on your computer, or in the cloud for on-the-go access, where you can save a copy of the resumes and cover letters you create and assign them to a specific job opportunity. Since job postings are often removed before interviews take place, it's important to copy and paste the job description into a file so you can refer back to it later.
Set up an Excel or Google Sheet to keep track of the jobs you applied to, the dates you applied, and any other important information or notes, such as your name and contact information.
Follow-upSome employers make it difficult to follow through on applications.
So you should follow up about a week after the job application deadline, if this information is listed, so that the employer has enough time to review your application.
If the job posting doesn't list an application deadline, proceed one week after your initial application.
If you can see who the hiring manager is taking on the job opportunity, use their contact information to personalize your follow-up and send it directly to the person of interest.
If the job is listed for an unknown employer, you may not be able to proceed.
In addition, if they post the job on purpose without employer details, chances are they won't be happy if you find out who they are and contact them directly.

One of her biggest annoyances is when candidates email their resume to the company's recruitment email, asking to be considered "for any role in which they might be suitable."
“If you can't take the time to look through a list of job openings and apply for a specific job, why would the hiring manager bother taking the time to review your application?
More often than not, these applicants are not qualified for any job vacancies, and they are just wasting the employer's time as well as their own.
A less-than-ideal online presence.
In addition to your resume and cover letter, you should trim your online presence before applying anywhere. This is especially true on LinkedIn, but also on any other platforms where you have profiles (Facebook, Twitter, etc.).
“If your resume doesn’t get noticed , the first thing the recruiter or hiring manager will do is Google you and look for you on social media,†Paul said .
Not indicating the job title.
If you're emailing your application for a specific job, it's advised to mention the job (and job ID, if applicable) in the subject line, in addition to the body of the email, so employers know which role to associate with your application.
There are plenty of other messages in the inbox for hiring managers to review; So they don't need to spend their time looking for information that should have been provided
