To implement such a method one needs to know the Hamiltonian $$H$$ whose energy levels are sought and one needs to construct a trial wavefunction in which some 'flexibility' exists (e.g., as in the linear variational method where the $$a_j$$ coefficients can be varied). It is pointed out that this method is suitable for the treatment of perturbations which makes the spectrum continuous.
