[Julien Barbier 🙃❤️🏴‍☠️ @jbarbier]

I regularly privately talk to #ALX_SE grads who are looking for jobs. Finding a job is a lot of work. The two main mistakes they make is not being organized and not applying to enough jobs. So here is a recipe for success:

1. Make sure you have a clear schedule. Apply every day for at least a few hours (meaning at least 10-25 applications per day) and train on interviews every day for at least a few hours.

2. Keep track of every job you applied to. Url, date, who / how did you apply, etc… use excel / google sheet.

3. Most of the companies will not even answer you. That’s “normal”, don’t be discouraged. For my first FT job after graduation, I had to apply to hundreds of companies before I got my job.

4. That’s not a reason not to try to talk to them. Ping them regularly if they don’t give you an answer. Find other ways to reach out to the decision maker. Use your linkedin to find ppl working at this company, talk to them. Keep track of that in your excel file (you can also use @_MariemEhab’s linkntrack dot com extension)

5. Focus in a few job boards that match your criteria and apply to every new job post every single day. For instance if you are looking for a remote job, you can use @AbduuHany & @YoussefCharifH2’s remoteotter dot com. Every day you should apply to 10-25 jobs. No exception, no excuse.

6. Continue training for tech and hr interviews while applying for jobs. You can use @nuux_tv & @Sophie_RB42’s prepforsuccess dot ai for that. Train every single day. At least 2hours. No exception, no excuse.

7. If you get to an interview and didn’t get the job, make sure you ask for feedback so that you can focus your interview training on the right thing. Did you suck at hr questions (i.e. where do tou see yourself in 5y?) or was it a technical problem? Focus on bridging the gap.

Do this relentlessly for a few months and you will get that job. It’s not easy, but that’s the job. Now stop complaining and go get that job!

GL everybody!
