00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:10.359
If you want to start a new
job in twenty twenty four, this is

2
00:00:10.359 --> 00:00:13.640
the podcast episode that you need to
be listening to. I don't care if

3
00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:15.919
you are cleaning your house, if
you are driving your car, if you

4
00:00:15.919 --> 00:00:18.960
are walking your dog, if you
are ignoring your partner. Maybe this is

5
00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:22.280
what you need to be doing.
Also, Hi, I'm I'm Aalit Durham,

6
00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:26.079
the host and the producer of the
Straight Shooter Recruiter podcast. This has

7
00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:30.760
been a one woman show for the
last four years dedicated to helping you thrive

8
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:33.600
in your nine to five and beyond. Like just cut the fluff. We

9
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:36.759
don't do the fluff. We don't
do the bs. We talk real practical

10
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:40.600
tips. Coming from someone who's worked
in recruiting for over seven years. I

11
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:44.759
am a careers coach, I am
a careers writer. I've been in Forbes,

12
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:47.880
BBC like you name it, I
have done it. This is literally

13
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:53.359
my jam and I've made a really
successful career out of navigating careers. And

14
00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:57.479
my goal is to just brain dump
everything onto you. So now here child,

15
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:00.039
if you are ready to receive my
brain dumping self a cup of coffee,

16
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:03.319
I have one as well, warm
and next to me. Today I

17
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:07.879
am drinking the pumpkin spice and espresso
pod and I mixed it with that new

18
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:11.280
Tim Horton's creamer. If you're Canadian, you know it is so good,

19
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:14.560
and I think that's it. Don't
forget to leave a rating in a review.

20
00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:17.200
And if you're holiday shopping you don't
know what to get your friends,

21
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:19.439
your partner, your mother, your
boss, get them my merch because that

22
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:23.400
shit is funny. There's a very
real possibility you don't like the first thing

23
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:26.359
that I'm about to tell you,
but it is very honest. If you

24
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:30.920
actually want to get a new job
in twenty twenty four, and most specifically

25
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:33.920
Q one of twenty twenty four,
so like January, February, March,

26
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:37.680
and April, you need to start
today. And I'm recording this the second

27
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:41.000
last week of November. It's probably
gonna go live that exact same week.

28
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:44.439
You need to start now. And
part of that is because there's homework you

29
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:47.879
need to do in advance of you
actually applying for jobs, and there's like

30
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:51.439
a couple of timing constraints and things
you need to know that frankly, a

31
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:53.079
lot of companies are not actually going
to tell you. And I want to

32
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:57.200
keep you on the loop on what
all that good stuff looks like. So

33
00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:00.640
let's start off with right now.
You need to decide is is actually the

34
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:04.400
right move for you. Maybe you
think yes, absolutely totally fine, skip

35
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:07.479
ahead, But I would encourage you
to ask yourself the next couple of questions,

36
00:02:07.520 --> 00:02:10.840
because sometimes it's normal for us to
want to quit our jobs and want

37
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:15.159
to have like a whole new outlook
on life. Maybe we're bored, Maybe

38
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:17.840
we just got a new boss and
we don't love said new boss. And

39
00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:22.840
it's super easy to jump to the
mental conclusion that I'm gonna quit my job,

40
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:25.680
like get me out of here.
And sometimes that's the answer. Sometimes

41
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:29.439
it's not. And I'm going to
tell you something. When I first started

42
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:32.280
recruiting, I wanted to quit so
badly, Like I was interviewing for jobs

43
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:36.520
in marketing, I was interviewing for
jobs and a whole bunch of other companies

44
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:39.199
because I was miserable, and I
was convinced that frankly, like I would

45
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:43.520
never enjoy it. Stuck it out
in extra few months and I fell in

46
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:46.599
love with it. And obviously,
talent and recruiting and TA is my whole

47
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:51.159
world. So ask yourself, have
I given myself enough time. For me,

48
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:53.840
enough time is six months. If
you still hate it in six months,

49
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:57.719
you're gonna hate it forever. Let's
move on. You probably realistically even

50
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:00.719
know what you want after the three
month mark. Don't make any hasty decisions

51
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:04.560
in like month one or month two
of a new job. Okay, now

52
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:06.919
that you know for sure you are
quitting, it is time for you to

53
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:09.479
do some real life for research on
where you would like to work. So

54
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:14.159
easiest thing to do is start off
by going on a website like LinkedIn,

55
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:17.520
or indeed take a peek at what
companies are actively posting the most. I

56
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:21.560
do want to tell you that this
is a really shitty time to apply for

57
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:25.039
jobs because a lot of companies are
waiting to post new jobs until January.

58
00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:29.680
That's when their budget tends to reset. So take a peek at who you

59
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:32.800
have seen that's posting jobs that you're
interested in, and just make sure you're

60
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:38.159
not discounting companies that don't have postings
up right now, because January is actually

61
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:40.840
the best time to apply. But
the purpose of this exercise is for you

62
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:45.840
to create a list of maybe twenty
or thirty employers that are your tier one

63
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:50.599
target employers like these are the places
you really really want to work. Doesn't

64
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:53.080
mean you're not applying for jobs at
other companies. What it means is the

65
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:58.039
strategy for your tier one I want
to work for you employers is a little

66
00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:00.919
bit more high touch and it's a
little bit different. And then like the

67
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:03.240
E I'd apply for this job kind
of employers. And that's what we're focusing

68
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:08.039
on right now to get you ready
for your dream job in January or February.

69
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:11.000
So make a list of your tier
one employers. What you're going to

70
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:15.039
do now is be very honest with
yourself. You need to be very honest

71
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:18.040
with yourself about what skills you might
lack that you would need to move into

72
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:21.199
that new position. So, for
example, if I'm a recruiter and I

73
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:25.800
want to move to Facebook, are
there skills I'm missing? Yeah? Probably,

74
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:28.399
I'm not as deep on AI.
I don't know AI as much.

75
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:30.360
So what I'm going to do over
the next couple of weeks is I'm going

76
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:33.160
to take some online courses. I'm
going to put those on my resume.

77
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:36.560
I'm going to start networking with people
and we'll get to networking in just a

78
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:40.720
sec. But I'm going to use
the next month and a half to close

79
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:44.360
those skills gaps so that when it's
time to apply in January, I am

80
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:47.879
ready and my profile is correct.
If you wait to do this until January,

81
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:50.600
you are not getting a job until
the second quarter of the year.

82
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:55.319
I'm going to tell you that right
now, the job market is slow.

83
00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:59.600
It is no longer this hot,
sexy market where there's thousands of jobs available.

84
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:03.079
It's also no longer a market that
is entirely ruled by either the employer

85
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:06.000
or the candidate. We're kind of
going back and forth. There's a bit

86
00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:12.800
of a like a balance happening after
the pandemic, where employers treated our entire

87
00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:15.319
workforce like shit, frankly, and
then a bunch of people said, hey,

88
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:17.079
I'm going to quit. I don't
want to work for you. And

89
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:19.680
then suddenly employers were like, ooh, so sorry, I'm going to treat

90
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:23.319
you well and pay you whatever you
want. That's kind of not what's happening

91
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:27.360
anymore. Like the pay is kind
of lowering. There's less flexibility for remote

92
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:30.879
work. It's just slower, So
you need to start sooner and be super

93
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:34.120
intentional. Once you have done that
and you have your top list of employers.

94
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:38.519
You're going to go on LinkedIn and
you are going to find people who

95
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:42.160
work at those companies. Pro tip
before you do this, make sure you

96
00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:45.439
go to Reddit or fish Bowl and
see if these people and these companies have

97
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:47.959
good reviews against them. No one's
going to be honest on Glassdoor. No

98
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:51.360
one is going to be honest on
their career website. They're only going to

99
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:54.959
tell you the best of the best. So go to the real deal,

100
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:57.720
like see what they really have to
say, you know, like, we

101
00:05:57.759 --> 00:05:59.920
want I want to hear the tea. I want to hear what the sea

102
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:01.600
EO is like, Okay, I
want to hear everything. So that's what

103
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:05.160
you're gonna do. If everything checks
out and you still like that company,

104
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:10.360
it's time to start networking and you
need to network now for the job three

105
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:12.920
months from now. And that's a
tough pill to swallow, baby, but

106
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:15.519
it's the pill I'm serving you.
I'm serving you the pill because it's all

107
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:19.240
about the relationship game. So what
I would advise you do is you reach

108
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:24.480
out to five or six people in
total from your target companies, and you

109
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:28.040
reach out literally saying this, Hey, I'm Emily, I'm a senior recruiter

110
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:31.519
working at a tech company. I
noticed that you are a senior recruiter at

111
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:34.759
Facebook, and I would love to
grab a virtual coffee with you for fifteen

112
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:38.879
minutes if you get creative and you
do something like that. I'm telling you

113
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:43.160
people are more likely to respond when
you give them a customized message pulling from

114
00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:46.800
their personal experience, because people are
more likely to want to talk about themselves

115
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:49.319
than to help you. Sorry,
that's the harsh reality of the world.

116
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:54.920
So make your first conversation with that
individual all about learning from their experience and

117
00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:59.560
picking their brain, and then make
the second conversation with that person, because

118
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:01.000
yes, at the end of the
first chat, you're going to say,

119
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:04.160
this was fantastic. Are you comfortable
if I reconnect with you in a couple

120
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:09.040
of months, Make that more about
your career and ask questions about their feedback

121
00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:13.160
on your resume, ask them questions
about how they might recommend you grow and

122
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:15.759
improve in order to be qualified for
their jobs. And then you would say,

123
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:18.399
hey, you know, if anything
ever pops up, I am open

124
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:21.519
to work. So if there's something
that you think is a good fit for

125
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:25.959
me, I would love to be
connected to either you as the hiring manager

126
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:29.360
and potentially even be referred for the
job if you think I'm a good fit.

127
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:32.879
That is only appropriate though after the
first conversation. This is a super

128
00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:38.040
high level summary. I actually have
an entire detailed what to say, how

129
00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:42.079
to say it, when to say
it breakdown on both this podcast and my

130
00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:46.839
YouTube channel. They're two different videos
or like audio clips, so same content,

131
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:48.959
just delivered differently. If you're more
of a visual learner, I would

132
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:51.920
recommend going to YouTube. If you're
more of like I'm going to listen in

133
00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:56.319
the car, talk me through the
details. Check out my podcast episode on

134
00:07:56.360 --> 00:07:59.439
that. But you need to get
really good at networking, and that's going

135
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:03.839
to gear you up for job application
time. So the holidays are popping up,

136
00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:07.319
you know, happy, happy everything, happy happy time off. That's

137
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:11.519
truly what I'm celebrating this holiday season. But you are going to be like,

138
00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:13.959
what, let's call it off for
two weeks, whether you are off

139
00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:18.680
or not. Most major companies are
shut down, which means by the time

140
00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:22.079
December second hits, nobody's really working. Like they're working, but they're not

141
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:26.959
really working. So your goal up
until January first is networking and understanding what

142
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:30.800
jobs you want and closing your skills
gaps January. First, I want you

143
00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:33.720
applying for jobs like a maniac like. I want you applying to every single

144
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:37.440
job. And how are you going
to get your resume to stand out?

145
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:41.360
Number one, You're going to use
that holiday break time to revamp your resume.

146
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:43.320
Not going to get into the details
here, but I have a full,

147
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:48.519
detailed, detailed, detailed YouTube series
that breaks down everything on that,

148
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:50.919
So go check that out if you
need help on your resume. And then

149
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:56.240
I want you to start applying specifically
to the jobs at your tier one companies.

150
00:08:56.559 --> 00:08:58.399
And after you apply for those jobs, you are going to message the

151
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:01.559
people that you been networking with and
say, hey, friend, hope you

152
00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:05.639
had an awesome holiday season. Wanted
to let you know I applied for this

153
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:07.759
job at your company. Would love
to know if you think I'm a great

154
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:11.000
fit or if you have any questions
about my candidacy. That's it. You

155
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:13.840
leave the rest on them. You
don't get pushy. You let them take

156
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:16.360
charge, because here's the thing.
If they like you, they're going to

157
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:20.360
refer you for the job. Reason
for that is they get paid when you

158
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:22.279
get hired, babe, So it's
a win win everybody is a win in

159
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:26.720
okay, So just send them that
message. Leave the rest in their court.

160
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:28.799
Other ways you're going to get your
resume to stand out is you are

161
00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:33.759
going to message not the recruiter,
but the person who is currently on that

162
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:37.440
team on LinkedIn. So if you
applied for a finance manager position at Facebook,

163
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:41.200
you're going to find another finance manager
and you're going to reach out and

164
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:45.080
send the same kind of message.
Recruiters are inundated with way too many messages,

165
00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:48.360
so that the likelihood they're going to
see your message is pretty low,

166
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:52.159
especially after the holiday season because it's
kind of peak time for people to be

167
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:56.879
applying to jobs. It's definitely one
of the peaks of the year. So

168
00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:00.759
I would highly recommend checking out who
those people are and y players are on

169
00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:03.360
the team. It's a pretty easy
thing to find. Honestly, you just

170
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:05.799
need to go to LinkedIn. You
know, you type in some keywords,

171
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:09.279
you find some people. Even if
it's the wrong person, that's fine.

172
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:11.399
It's a person at the company,
right So either way, that's a huge

173
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:15.320
win. So I wouldn't like,
don't panic about making it perfect, just

174
00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:16.840
get it done. Like, make
sure you get it done. A couple

175
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:20.279
of things you don't need to do. You don't need to customize your resume

176
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:24.519
for every application. You don't need
to customize your cover letter. What I

177
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:28.279
would recommend doing, though, for
those Tier one companies is do have a

178
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:33.519
tailored message to the recruiter, tailored
message to the person you reach out to,

179
00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:35.960
and just make sure that your resume
is really solid, like make sure

180
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:39.639
you have a solid kick ass resume. If you work in an industry like

181
00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:43.559
consulting or finance, yes you do. One thousand and one billion, one

182
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:48.679
jillion percent need a cover letter.
Most other industries, especially tech, they're

183
00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:50.200
not going to read it. They're
not going to read it. Now,

184
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:54.759
I would be a really shitty career
coach if I told you that the secret

185
00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:58.200
sauce to getting a job in Q
one is applying to a job, because

186
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:01.080
that's not what's going to cut it. What really is going to get you

187
00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:05.320
that dream job fast. Number one
is networking. Number two is putting yourself

188
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:09.600
out there beyond the scope of applying
for jobs. A lot of organizations are

189
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:13.840
going to host in house sessions,
which means they'll have, you know,

190
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:18.360
like ted Talk style sessions happening in
their offices. That they'll post online.

191
00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:20.879
They're going to attend conferences. You
need to start going to those things.

192
00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:26.000
That's how you get your name remembered
by key players, by recruiters, by

193
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:28.080
the talent managers, by the teams
you want to work for. So you

194
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:33.440
need to actively put yourself out there
frankly all the time, but most especially

195
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:37.399
January February March of this is your
timeframe. You're doing that while you're networking,

196
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:41.039
so you haven't stopped networking and reaching
out to people on LinkedIn, and

197
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:46.080
while you are still firing out your
application. Because realistically, it is very

198
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:50.360
similar to the rule of marketing.
There's a rule in marketing where it says

199
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:54.399
it takes seven times for someone to
interact with a brand before they purchase.

200
00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:58.559
So you open up Instagram and you
see, I don't know, like an

201
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:01.360
advertisement for a hair extension, and
I'm just saying that because I see hair

202
00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:05.639
extension ads all the time. You
see this ad for a hair extension the

203
00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:07.480
first time, you don't really pay
attention. Then you see an influencer use

204
00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:09.000
it and you're like, oh,
that's kind of cool, and then you

205
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:11.679
see another influencer, and then you
see another ad, and then it pops

206
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:15.399
up in your stories, and then
it's in Facebook marketplace and you see it

207
00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:18.080
there, and it pops up a
few more times till it hits the lucky

208
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:20.440
number seven and you are statistically more
likely to say, ah, screw it,

209
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:24.159
I'll buy these ugly little hair extensions. So it's kind of the same

210
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:28.600
thing with talent, right Like,
the more you have repetition and brand recognition

211
00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:31.840
to your name, the better.
There is no secret key. Like I

212
00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:35.399
wish I could tell you there was
a secret key, there is not.

213
00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:39.120
The best thing you can do is
have a very very good resume, have

214
00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:43.879
a very solid, regular cadence of
networking, and keeping multiple people warm in

215
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:46.799
your network, and then putting yourself
out there to become a well known candidate

216
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:52.639
to that organization via their events.
It really is a combination of all three.

217
00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:54.840
And if you want to land your
dream job in Q one, start

218
00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:58.679
today. Your number one priority is
networking and it is always networking. And

219
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:03.159
if you do you want to have
a sexy, long term career where you

220
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:05.159
are growing and you are making more
money all the time, you are never

221
00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:09.080
going to stop networking. You were
going to do this once a month,

222
00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:13.320
every month until the day you win
the lottery because with inflation, baby,

223
00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:15.480
I don't know if we're if we're
ever going to retire. You know,

224
00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:18.360
i'd love to say and just like
that, you're going to get your dream

225
00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:20.840
job. Unfortunately, with this job
market, it is not easy. It

226
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:24.039
is not something that is like effortless. It doesn't mean you're going to get

227
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:28.720
your favorite job in two months or
two weeks. The average time to get

228
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:31.039
a job after graduation, for example, is about seven months. And that's

229
00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:35.279
an a normal economy. We're in
a weird spot where companies aren't really claiming

230
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:39.679
a recession. The banks are kind
of talking about it like everything is really

231
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:43.960
really up in the air, and
that causes companies to move slower. But

232
00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:46.720
the good news is January tends to
advance things at a quicker rate. It

233
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:50.600
also tends to be a period where
brand new positions are coming to the forefront.

234
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:54.799
So the best thing you can do
is start now. Focus on networking.

235
00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:56.159
And I wish I could tell you
there was another secret. There's not

236
00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:01.720
like networking, is it networking?
It Almost every job is filled via networking.

237
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:05.960
It's someone who knew someone who knew
someone. It's you keeping in contact

238
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:09.519
with the recruiter. It's all of
those things. So anyways, I really

239
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:13.559
really hope this helped reminder. I've
got lots of other resources on this page,

240
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:16.399
on my YouTube channel, on Instagram, and on TikTok. And I'm

241
00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:18.799
going to be back next week.
I know, I took two weeks off.

242
00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:22.279
I was traveling so much for work. I wonder if you can hear

243
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:26.240
the tired in my voice, but
I was literally everywhere. It was a

244
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:28.120
lot. It was a lot.
So now I'm back. We are back

245
00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:31.720
on our regular schedule, and I
really hope you enjoyed this. That's kind

246
00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:33.720
of my goal. So that's that's
it for me, folks. I think

247
00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:37.399
that's it. Oh yeah, we're
back. You can hear the shitty accent,

248
00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:39.480
so we're back. Awesome. All
right, friends, I will talk

249
00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:41.080
to you next Sunday. Love you
lots, and happy job hunting. Wa
