    In your job search, this means choosing a strategy—whether it's networking, targeted applications, or mastering interviews—and committing to it fully. It’s not about perfection; it’s about consistency. Implementing a strategy is how you build momentum, refine your performance, and ultimately stand out in a competitive field..."
