"Cast a wide net. Better chances of catching fish". - Old jungle saying (kidding :)
"Mind is like a parachute. Works best when open". - True saying. Not kidding.
These 2 strategies shall help you get through to more jobs. Do not presume that such and such is a good fit for you. Give some liberty to the recruiter too. Let him / her have a say in what is a good fit for you. Do apply for the general resume submission. And do email a copy of resume if they accept emailed resumes for their database.
Typically, once you start applying, expect a week or 2 or 3 of lull (before the storm). After the perios of silence, expect to bombarded with replies from various companies.
Maintain separate folders for companies in your email. Sort them out. Flag the important emails. Reply on time. Do not delay. Stay on top of things rather than get overwhelmed by the load of emails you receive.
This blog documents my MBA student life at Ryerson University, Canada (2010-2012). It was an attempt to demystify the MBA experience, help understand MBA topics & encourage MBA wannabes. I have a Pre-MBA blog about B-School application process (and a few other blogs) as well. I used to blog actively in the past and interact with readers regularly, but life got very busy after my MBA. Good luck. Take care. Cheers! Gerry.
