Write about what makes you uncomfortable with the season you are in.

For me, that’s navigating the job hunt.

You’ll realize there are valuable lessons in the journey.

And the best part.

You’ll develop some awesome relationships along the way.

Going through my vault of DJ mixes

BIG time club / party mixes 10+ years old.

Got a few under my old name DJ CQ

Right early 2000’s jams are HUGE!!!

Feels like a perfect storm lining up to re-release

⚡️Who wants free awesome mixes?⚡️

[Chris Anibale @djchrisanthony]

Be intentional doing this ⬇️

Stop. Reflect. Celebrate.

Take time to enjoy the small wins every week

Overtime, they become ⚡️monumental victories⚡️

@KateBour No way! But it’s been fun learning throughout the journey.

Avoid this common #eventplanner problem

Diverse crowd not engaged w/ music

Solution - trust DJ psychology ⬇️

How does current song make people feel

Why did song work / 💣

What next 3-5 songs will connect

Respond w/ songs ⬆️ + repeat

⚡️Trust a DJ’s valuable experience⚡️

[Chris Anibale @djchrisanthony]

@aakashgupta Yes! Same mentality applies to DJ’ing events

How is this song going to make people feel.

What are 3-5 songs to have ready next

Quickly analyze “why did that song work/bomb”

Decide direction to go

Then requests happen 😀

Always reading and adapting to the crowd 👍🏼

[Chris Anibale @djchrisanthony]

@deejayspider Yessir! The value we DJs provide goes way beyond just playing music.

You’re the perfect example of that @deejayspider!

@amandanat Thinking big picture on how to distribute / repurpose the content in the early stages is going to….

Save a lot of time, money, and headaches down the road.

[Chris Anibale @djchrisanthony]

@ThatChristinaG Building relationships that are fueling personal/professional development.

[Chris Anibale @djchrisanthony]

@aakashgupta Great tips @aakashgupta!

With a few tweaks these can apply to a wide range of roles. Adding to my project management tool belt 👍🏼

#1 You will apply for less jobs

#2 Recruiters / hiring managers will begin reaching out to you

#3 You will start building a thriving community of advocates that open 🚪 of opportunities

⚡️Last 1 is a game changer ⚡️

Build community by serving

Watch things fall into place.

[Chris Anibale @djchrisanthony]

Don’t make the same mistakes I made early on in my job hunt 

Applying for endless jobs 
Weak Linkedin profile
No relationships 

That is a recipe for a wild rollercoaster ride

Instead double down and invest in these strategies

Thread 🧵 ⬇️

[Chris Anibale @djchrisanthony]

#1 Building relationships

Seek to add value first

Actively engage with peoples content

Affirm them

#2 Optimize Linkedin / social profiles for your target roles

Slowly you’ll start to notice a shift

Here’s where the magic happens ⬇️

[Chris Anibale @djchrisanthony]

@JustinSaaS I just saw this on LinkedIn too 😀

Practicing what you preach and crushing it along the way.

[Chris Anibale @djchrisanthony]
