If you're trying to speed up your job search, consider these tips:

1. Make sure you have an excellent resume and cover letter. It should be free of grammatical errors and formatted for an ATS (applicant tracking system). This will help you get noticed faster!

2. Find a mentor or friend to read over your resume and cover letter before you submit them, as they may catch errors that you missed.

3. Apply only to jobs in which you meet the qualifications listed in the description. If a hiring manager receives a resume from a candidate who doesn't meet their minimum requirements, they will likely toss it right out and move on to the next one. This is a waste of time for both parties, so make sure the job is right for you before applying!

4. Make sure your LinkedIn profile is up-to-date with relevant information about yourself and your experience. If a potential employer comes across your profile after seeing an application from you in their inbox, they'll want to know what kind of person they're dealing with first-hand! Your LinkedIn profile can help determine whether or not this particular company is even worth pursuing further down the line (and vice versa).

5. Use job-search sites
Use reputable sites like [indeed.com, jobberman, for Nigerians] to find openings, but remember that many companies will post their openings on their websites before they post them on these sites, so don't rely solely on the sites.

6. Build your network
Your network can help you find out about positions that aren't being advertised yet or are only being advertised inside the company.
