Getting hired is a sequence of small steps. Do them in order and the process becomes manageable.
Direct answer
To get hired: choose a target role, make your CV, cover letter and online profile clear and specific, find openings (including ones not advertised), speak to people, prepare short true stories for interviews, follow up, and negotiate calmly. Employers hire people who show they can do the work, so show proof.
The steps
1. Choose a target
Pick one or two job types. A focused search beats a vague one.
2. Build your documents

8. Negotiate the offer
