Every job I’ve had 🤷🏽

The last 3 roles I had at good name agencies were all ones I just applied for on the website or LinkedIn

First time taking a job not knowing a single person at the company and regret it. Even if they don’t have a hand in getting you the job, knowing someone there can give you so much insight on how the place is run and I realized I took that for granted with all the other jobs I had.

smart

Yes, Square. 🤠

My last role though, I knew somebody on the inside.

Didn’t know anyone inside. But had a recruiter who connected me.

I’ve landed 3 interviews this week from applications, 2 in house, 1 agency

Also, tailor your resume. Getting past the keyword filter is … key.

My last job I just applied on LinkedIn and got it. I’ve had more success getting interviews by applying online than I’ve had being referred.

Every job in the agency world I was given was from a recruiter reaching out.

🐠, need opinions/advice. Persistent recruiter asked me to consider having an exploratory convo with a company for a VP role even though I’m not looking to make a switch.
