š” Making sense of todayās job market
If youāre looking for a job in 2023, what worked last year wonāt work now. Youāve probably experienced this first-hand. Plot twist: Itās all about networking these days. It can certainly be anxiety-inducing, but it doesnāt have to be complicated. And trust me, people are getting hired through referrals, and you can too.
Iāve created a free LinkedIn Guide to help you understand the state of the job market and what it really takes to network your way to an offer.
š£ļø Start a conversation with a stranger
Hereās a challenge for you ā start a conversation with a complete stranger about your job search this month! Nervous? Iāve got a fool-proof conversation starter that may help you land an interview.Ā
š From my feed to you
Ashley Ruba applied for a single job this year and actually got it. How? Networking. No surprise there. If you spend more time networking and less time cold-applying, it could pay off big.Ā
FYI, your next opportunity may be waiting in your LinkedIn contacts list. No, seriously. Go check.
The job youāll have soon may not even be posted yet. But you wonāt know about it (let alone land the offer) if you donāt reach out like this eager job seeker who landed a role by chance. As Stacy Valancy put it, one connection can make a big difference.Ā
š¤£ If you need a smile
Job hunting is a full-time job. How much would you pay someone to fill out applications for you?
