How to use IT Jobs List (and actually land interviews)
Job boards are easy to browse and hard to act on. This page is designed to help you move from “scrolling” to “shortlisting”: understand what a listing really implies, compare offers fairly, and apply with a clear plan.
Read the listing like a hiring manager
A job ad is a negotiation document. Focus on the constraints: seniority, collaboration model, location expectations, and what “nice to have” actually means.
- Open 5 similar roles and compare recurring requirements (those are usually real).
- Check whether the team is product vs agency/outsourcing (delivery pace differs).
- Look for signals of good engineering: testing, code review, documentation, ownership.
Compare salaries the right way
Salary transparency is useful only when you normalize it. In Romania, listings can mix gross vs net, month vs year, and different contract types.
- Confirm whether the number is gross or net and whether it’s monthly or yearly.
- For B2B roles, account for taxes, accounting costs, and time off.
- Use the same baseline when comparing two offers (same period, same type).
Apply efficiently (quality over quantity)
High-volume applications rarely outperform targeted ones. A small set of strong applications wins more interviews than 50 generic clicks.
- Tailor your CV headline and top bullets to the role’s primary tech and domain.
- Mention one concrete, similar project (stack + impact) in your first message.
- Track applications and follow-ups; avoid re-applying to duplicates.
Next steps (useful shortcuts)
If you’re negotiating offers or switching contract type, these pages help you validate numbers and expectations before you commit.
