Method 1 — LinkedIn Job Apply
+ Recruiter Outreach

You are looking at Content Writing / Copywriting roles, so don't start with a very broad search.

Primary Job Titles

Your priority order

Run different searches in LinkedIn Jobs. Click any search string to copy it.

You prefer remote, so prioritize in this order:

• First priority: Remote
• Then: India → Remote
• Then international: US / UK / Canada / Australia → Remote
• And if it's a good company: Hybrid / On-site doesn't need to be completely rejected

Don't apply to every job. Use the simple scoring system above, or reference this table:

Look at these things first in the Job Description:

A. Experience

If it says "2–4 years experience" and your experience is reasonably relevant → Apply.

If it says "7–10 years required" → generally skip. But if the rest of the role is a very strong match, an exception is possible.

B. Skills

Check how well your skills match:

C. Portfolio Requirement

If the portfolio is mandatory, keep relevant samples ready.

After opening a job: note the company name → look at their LinkedIn page → go to People → Search. Search for these (click to copy):

Priority order:

• 4. Talent Partner — Good
• 5. HR Generalist — Possible
• 6. Company employee — Last option

Recommended: Apply first. Then message the recruiter. That way you can naturally say:

If you're not yet connected to the recruiter, send a connection request first. Keep it short — not a long message.

Hi [Name], I just applied for the [Job Title] role at [Company]. My background is in content/copywriting with experience in [relevant area]. I'd love to connect and stay in touch regarding the opportunity.

This is the more important message.

Hi [Name],

I recently applied for the [Job Title] position at [Company] and wanted to reach out directly.

My background is in content and copywriting, with experience creating [website/landing page/SaaS/SEO/etc.] content. I was particularly interested in this role because [specific reason from the JD/company].

Here's my portfolio: [Portfolio Link]

If my background looks relevant, I'd be happy to discuss the role further.

Best,
Mohit

This is the most important part. The line "I was particularly interested in this role because…" must not be generic.

I was particularly interested because the role focuses on B2B SaaS content and conversion-focused copy.

I was particularly interested because the role involves working across different brands and creating website and landing-page copy.

I was particularly interested because the role combines content strategy, AI and conversion-focused writing.

I was particularly interested because the role combines SEO content with broader content strategy.

Don't send the recruiter 10 links. Keep one main portfolio.

Follow-up #1 — after 3–4 business days

Hi [Name], just following up on my application for the [Job Title] role.

I'm still very interested in the opportunity and would be happy to share any additional writing samples or information if helpful.

Thanks!

If you still get no response — after 5–7 business days:

Hi [Name], one last follow-up regarding the [Job Title] position.

I'd be glad to discuss how my content/copywriting experience could fit the role. Sharing my portfolio again here for convenience: [Portfolio Link]

Thanks for your time.

Don't automatically reject it. If all these are true, do Apply + Recruiter Outreach:

• The role is highly relevant
• The company is good
• Your skills match
• The recruiter can be identified

Don't make Easy Apply your primary strategy. The correct formula:

Combine all three:

In the beginning you don't need a very high number of applications.

Meaning, start with 5–10 quality applications / day.

If you work 5 days:

• 25–50 targeted applications / week
• 25–50 recruiter outreach / week

Create a Google Sheet / Excel. Columns:

Date | Company | Job | Location | URL | Applied | Recruiter | Recruiter URL | Message Sent | Follow-up 1 | Follow-up 2 | Status

Status options

Don't do this:

Hi Sir/Mam,

I am looking for a job opportunity. Please let me know if you have any vacancy for a content writer.

Here is my resume.

Thanks.

This makes you look like a job seeker, not a candidate. Instead:

Put every application in this structure:
