"Nothing happens during December..." they said.
"May as well wait until January to start a #JobSearch ..." they said.

I didn't follow that logic, and have been rewarded with 2+ interviews a day through December.❤️

Any other advice-ignorers out there having success?

Dear account-reps for b2b software... yes, I know you want every opportunity to grow our value to you. But did you also know how exhausting it is to require a phone call for every renewal so we can "discuss factors"? If I haven't gotten stuck yet, my factors haven't changed.

Copy and design are intimate lovers that make each other better. 🥰 One without the other can really fall flat.

@BofA_Help Wow BofA. I can't believe how much of my time and money you've wasted in the last few weeks trying to manage a fraud claim. You can safely call my NPS a 1.

Extending every statement with "...so that..." is my favorite skill born of becoming a product manager.

Win friends and influence people! Through clarity. 💕

If everyone could experience what it's like to screen 150 job candidates, everyone's application would exponentially improve.

@adamzavala When a human is screening applicants (as opposed to an algorithm) they are likely SWAMPED. If you want to get noticed, make it easy.

[Mandi O'Brien @mandirao]

@adamzavala As an applicant, if you're thinking "They'll forgive one little accidental typo" or "My cover letter doesn't need to be personal to the company I'm applying to," you're wrong.

Tech culture often treats “data vs. opinion” as the only two ways to make decisions. Between the two is an undervalued third option: expertise. It’s dismissed as opinion, but is based on years of accumulated data from lived experience & comparable situations.

Oh my gosh y'all... so excited to finally announce the coolest thing ever... that we at @verblio launched a podcast – The Verblio Show!

[Mandi O'Brien @mandirao]

The Verblio Show podcast is weekly. The episodes are bite-sized. And listening to our hyper-extroverted, liberal artsy-curious, startup fanatic CEO Steve Pockross talk to marketers, digital agencies, and a diverse array of thought leaders is weirdly entertaining. 😍
