If I only got 24 hours to land an interview, here's what I would do:
1. Upgrade my portfolio with the project that best fits the roles I'm applying for. If I had no projects, I would spend 10 minutes searching for job descriptions and see a project that I could do;
2. I would put both links in my LinkedIn's "Featured section";
3. I would find hiring managers on LinkedIn, identify something specific they've written or built, and send a thoughtful 3-sentence message referencing their work – if they replied, I would deepen the conversation until I could ask them for a referral;
4. Improve my resume with quantifiable achievements that align with job descriptions;
5. I would create a 60-second video introduction of myself explaining: the specific problems you solve, how you solve them, and the results of having me on the team.

Then I would use the remaining 18 hours to apply.
