I’d also add (although I’m not sure this is uncommon) - Get accountability buddy(s) who are also applying to jobs to motivate you / with whom you can share draft applications on short notice etc. Even though you may end up spending ~1.5-2x the time you would have on job applications as a whole, you may on net end up doing / applying to more position.s
I really don’t like writing about myself in a CV. I find it hard to try to talk about how amazing I am. Writing in the third person certain helps (“JJ is amazing” vs “I am amazing”) but even better is having someone else write about how amazing I am. So, it’s even better if you and your buddy can write for each other.
