How to find a job in London: a focused search system
A successful search is a weekly operating system: target, evidence, outreach, applications and review.

Choose a narrow target
Define two or three role families, realistic seniority and industries where your evidence is strongest. A broad search often produces weak applications.
Build the proof
Align the CV, LinkedIn profile and work examples around outcomes relevant to the target role. Make dates, responsibilities and achievements consistent.
Use several routes
Combine employer career pages, specialist recruiters, professional communities and thoughtful direct outreach. Track every application and follow-up.
Review every week
Measure responses, interviews and repeated objections. Improve the target or evidence when the same problem appears; do not only increase volume.
