Few different ideas
- reaching out to mentors and asking for advice
- reaching out to friends or acquaintances in the areas you’re interested in
- find leaders in the areas you’re interested in and reach out to them. Do not ask for a job! Instead personal the message. Say you admire their career journey and looking to replicate something similar and would welcome any advice. Keep it short and personalised. Use para spacing to make it easy to read
- if you meet with someone, ask them for a suggested three other people they think you should meet now that they know your story (hopefully you’ve impressed them with asking lots of interesting questions about their career too).
- three is the magic number. One won’t respond. One will but it’ll fizzle out and one will be a solid lead
- you can coke reach out to people via LinkedIn and you can go to meet up groups or events related to your interest. Keep meeting people and progressing.

Nice! It can take a while to get a good lead, so make sure you’re mentally prepared for the marathon.

Yep. I’m definitely not applying from a position of desperation so I’ll pull the trigger when its a genuine true match.

What did you use linkedin, indeed, or company site?

Yes. Indeed, doesn’t do it as frequently. Often, it will send your resume directly to the hiring manager, which is nice.

Any recs for a good quality standing desk that doesn’t break the bank? Ideally looking for something on the larger side (debating if a corner / L shape desk would be better than a standard rectangle, but either way want plenty of room for monitors, 2 laptops, notebooks / paperwork etc). TIA for any recs and/or brands to avoid!
