If you’ve ever had a job search that sucked today’s episode is for you!
Maybe you’re in the midst of one right now and don’t know what to do next. From getting ghosted to getting canned rejection emails, job searches are never easy, and usually come with lots of rejection, confusion, and even depression. My goal is that these strategies should help you gain the visibility you need so you don’t get lost and waste months of your time trying to find your next job.
We'll talk about:
-Why recruiters are overwhelmed (inundated with apps, not a lot of time, lots of open roles, pattern matching and depending on referrals)
-How to Get Targeted (make a top 10, find people that work there, conduct informational interviews, figure out what good looks like for your field)
-When to Apply (m-t am, fri/take off weekends, after funding/acquisitions, seasonal, opportunistic)
- How to Get Ahead (follow up on everything, research targets on all channels, find a referral, showcase your skills)
