Where do you apply for jobs? LinkedIn? Actually searching up the company and applying there?

Yes - don’t apply via LinkedIn. Direct website is always best.

Yes or do some research on recruiters/employees for the companies you want and connect with them on LinkedIn to show them your interest

Get referrals by reaching out to mutuals who work there, or network by contacting people who are at that company to learn more and they may connect you to directly to someone from the hiring team. This method has gotten me 100% success rate in getting the initial phone screening/interview (I’ve had at least a dozen calls the past two weeks alone), whereas applying directly on LI or company site I rarely hear back

like

I don’t ask for a referral right away, I usually start by messaging the mutual saying something like “hope alls well, I see you work at Company X and would love to connect for 15 mins to hear about your experience so far as I’m interesting in opportunities there” and then have a phone call talking about it for a bit and at the end open it up by saying I”m interested in applying, is there a recruiter I could connect with or do u have suggestions on how to move forward?” And then they will offer

Alright, I'll be the unpopular opinion.

I don't reach out to anyone anymore, it's too time consuming. I just find jobs that fit me well and shotgun stuff out

Exceptions may exist for certain jobs and companies, but those are far and few between. My success rate at getting initial phone call or interview is decent, but actual offer stage is low, though I think that's in part because I'm picky and go for high competition roles

Recruiters 100%. I got the first call and first interview every time with them.

Note down the companies you’d want to work for and multi-prong them: recruiters, networking events, job board alerts, regularly check official careers website etc.

Company website only, applying through LinkedIn is lazy.

I like to apply for Product Manager roles at Amazon since I like the role. I have done front office CRM (SAP) implementations for Fortune50 clients through Accenture.

I have also worked on sales, BD and functional spec creation for new features.
Can I count these as Product Management experience while applying for Amazon or other Faangmula?

Hi Fishes
I have an interview this week for Investment Strategy and Research - Senior Specialist.

Need suggestions for interview preparations.

Friends, need some feedback on an idea:

I’m thinking of starting a podcast interviewing leaders at startups about their experience with specific challenges - I know, cliche, get a more original hobby, etc.

Not looking for the narrative arc of How I Built This or Masters of Scale. Instead, looking to uncover specific problems faced by companies that tried something new for the first time. What did they not see coming, how did they adapt and measure, etc.

What are your thoughts on this format?
