Wonsulting Newsletter #12: The secret way to standout when applying to jobs below…

The job search process is frustrating.

‍

And if you agree with me and want to vent out your feelings, I’m here for you. Just respond to this email and just let it all out (and if you need more help -> click here)

‍

I know firsthand the frustration that comes with job hunting. You send out countless applications, and for every hundred you send, you might only hear back from five. 

‍

And to be honest, five is even good. Some people get less than 2 responses back, or even sometimes none.

‍

That was me before and I kept asking myself: What am I doing wrong?! 

‍

It feels like your resume is getting lost in a black hole, right?

‍

I understand your struggle, and that's why I'm here to share an unconventional yet effective approach. Instead of sending your resume into the unknown, let's step up our game together..

‍

Here’s how:

• Next time you're about to apply for a role, say a ""Strategic Development"" role at company X, pause for a moment. 
• Look one level higher on LinkedIn, and filter for company X. (Let’s say Director of Strategic Development, Google)
• There you go, you've just discovered a potential connection who could help fast-track your application. 

‍

‍

If it's not this person, keep looking. You'll be surprised how often you find the right person.

‍

I can hear your next question: ""What do I do once I've found this connection?"" This is where the fun begins - crafting the perfect message.

‍

NetworkAI can be your game changer. It's as simple as clicking on 'I want an interview', typing in the role and company name, and hitting 'generate'. Boom! You've got a custom message ready to be copied, connected, and pasted into a LinkedIn note.

‍

I know, it's not everyone's cup of tea to send messages. But your goal here isn't to spam, but to connect genuinely and professionally. The most tailored message is your ticket to standing out.

‍

Have you ever tried this?

‍

Remember, in this fiercely competitive job market, you need to do a bit more, especially for a role you're passionate about.

‍

Keep pushing, and let's land you that dream job!

‍

Best,

Jonathan Javier
