What would you do to land your dream job? [your procedure or advice]

Getting a job is becoming increasingly difficult – many applicants (high competition), automation and the replacement of tasks with artificial intelligence...

Now it's a miracle if someone opens your email.

How would you differentiate yourself from others if you wanted to get the job of your dreams, and what would you be capable of?

Feel free to share a story about how you got yours if you have some interesting.

It seems that having a polished CV and portfolio is no longer enough to stand out. Based on conversations with others, the most effective way to differentiate yourself is through a referral from someone within the company. I've come across stories of people flying across countries just to meet in person to show up (unsolicited invite) :D, or in one case, a programmer demonstrated his skills by "hacking" the company’s database to prove he is worth it. 😅
