What do you think made their application stand out the most compared to others you see?

Yes I believe this should be the first thought a hiring person should consider while looking to hire someone. But what if later on, you discovered their communication style doesn't align with yours?

Timeless information! Will definitely implement!

thanks for sharing your experience Sabrina, very refreshing to see it from the clients perspective 👍

good

Oh man love this, great tips @Sabrina Polanco ! Posting is key 🔑

Two jobs from one application is such a powerful result — and it shows how much a clear, well-positioned profile matters. Watching the video now. Thanks for sharing this for all of us new to Contra!

Loved hearing your point of view 🔑

So nice and helpful to see things from the other side, really appreciate this, thanks Sabrina!

Love this! Thank you for sharing!

Love the part where she had her figma link for a proper intro of herself

Thank you.

you are a goat for this

thank you so much for sharing this! I download the video and as well share this to many people! really appreciate this

Always love designers teaming up on projects together 😍 Manifesting this !! 🔥

Thank you for this great insight. It will help me a lot

Thank you Sabrina for showing this side of Contra to us and for the great tips

Insightful

Kudos!

great

Thanks, @Sabrina Polanco, it helped me discover the mistakes I was making: 1. Focusing on applications only, while the client sees the profile view first 2. Follow templates for writing applications, not always needed Moreover, I got to know the perspective from the client's view, which is really helpful. Keep this up

Thanks for sharing this gem. I’ve noticed areas for improvement in my application submissions, and I’m bookmarking this for regular reference.

I tried adding Figma links to my case studies - barely anyone clicked. Love the idea of showing your process this way but most people won't engage enough to actually browse through someone's file and see how they think.

Thanks for the tip!

Love to know behind the scenes! I remember applying and I actually see my application in your video 😁 Contra is a small world 🫶

loove this. knowing how to craft a great application is so essential.

You made me start posting on contra again haha! Thanks a lot for the tips Sabrina.

perfect

Thanks for sharing this . You are so kind Sabrina

Clarity, confidence, and presentation really do make clients say yes instantly! Amazing Sabrina🙌

Most people focus only on the application itself, but this shows how much clarity, presentation, and profile positioning shape the client’s decision.
