| If standard approach does not work => time to learn how to work hard: [1] For every position you look for people at LinkedIn in that company. If you are already connected ask for referral. [2] If not, look for common connections that can introduce you. [3] If there is none => send request for adding everyone from the company to the friends. [4] Message everyone, inviting for a coffee or virtual chat to learn about the company. [5] If you believe that you are a good fit => say this. ---- And you spend first 4 hours of every day messaging, messaging, messaging. The response rate will be low. But you need only one job. ---- And if you do it for 6 months every day, there is no way you will not get many interviews. ---- Every interview you fail => you extensively study to address limitations of your skillset. ----- Basically, there is no: "I have a degree, hence I deserve a job", but there is: "hard work is the goal". ----- P.S. Somehow blog post reminds me why online dating is not working that well for men. Competition is enormous, the number of ladies is limited and things like: "I am an average man, hence I deserve attention from ladies" does not work as well |
