Mistakes that kill applications
A recycled CV gets rejected fast at Blink (<50 people). They notice.
Don't open with what you want. Open with what Blink is dealing with right now — is growing fast after their null round, and what you'd do about it.
Applying and waiting = silence. Follow up at day five — it roughly doubles your odds of a reply.
