Terrible at job hunting. I know networking is everything. Anyone have examples of cold messages you’ve sent with success? Success = you got a job from it

I’ve had success recently - sounds cliche but was recommended to me. Read the book the 2 hour job search, it helps you efficiently make a list of companies to reach out to in 2 hours (2 hours to make the list, not reach out) and what connections you have, dream companies, etc. Also gives you idea about what to say when you reach out and make connections. Good luck!

We have hired several candidates this way who have reached out at just the right time with the right skills.

Hello All,
Excel help please. I’m trying to combine 3 tabs into 1. So on tabs a,b,c I have wire instructions that go to different places, but they all have the same field names/format. However the number of rows for each tab will vary from day to day. I need to make a fourth tab that shows all the rows from a,b,c consecutively. Because the number of rows change, I can’t find the best way to collate all the rows into one table. I can use a macro or lookups or a source formula. Please advise!

I can't help but notice that the most touted exit opps mentioned here are all 'G&A' positions - S&O, CorpDev, Strat, etc. Aren't these positions the first in line to go come layoff time? Prod Management seems like it would be more insulated from layoff pressure (so long as your P&L is in the black) though even that could come under budgetary pressure.

What would be an example of 'layoff-proof' exit opp?

Hi all. I can't help but feel that my current 'Digital Managing Partner' job title is a little too niche when it comes to LinkedIn job/resume keyword relevance, particularly outside of a media agency environment. However, a 'Digital Director' title feels too junior and 'Managing Director' maybe a little more senior. Any logical suggestions please? Thanks
