Getting a job is not fucking hard, you’re just lazy. This is how to get an interview for any job you want:
1. Discover role you want to apply for
2. Scrape MD or Senior Mgmt email from apollo or list kit
3. Email them and say:
Hey Name, my name is X. I found your email in my research and am interested in Y role at your firm. Here’s how my experience is relevant (1 punchy sentence). I’m a young, hungry professional with nothing to lose. Can I send over my resume?
99.99% of people won’t do this and that’s why they lose.
The other way. Add them on LI and message them there. Leverage alumni network to get your foot in the door.
But getting their email and emailing them as mentioned above demonstrates resourcefulness and problem solving skills right off the rip.
a hardest pill to swallow is that people will hurt you. dehumanize you in so many ways and not feel badly about it. they won’t feel a thing actually. they’ll move on with their day, their week, their life, happy as ever but there you are, crushed. loss of appetite. loss of sleep.
Introverts are kind people, but if you piss them off, they'll ignore your whole existence. They're givers. They love. They care. They reciprocate. They'll give you chances after chances. Over & over again. But once they've had it, they don't revenge, they just disappear forever.
