Top 9 Actions for Your Job Search
(most -> least impactful)

In the past 3 months, I showed 100+ job seekers what I looked for as a Chief People Officer when I was hiring heavily. These were ex-Google, ex-Zoom, ex-Stripe.

They also showed me what's working!

Top 9 actions. ⇩

9) Learn a new skill, possibly in AI 💡

Invest in you! Get new skills, certifications, or training in your area of expertise.

Take a class and meet others.

E.g., learn something cool about AI you can share with friends, with colleagues, and in interviews.

I'll post later on how to find your job 95% of the time by connecting!

In the meantime...breathe, and

1) Sleep
2) Drop applying online
3) Have coffee with a friend ("95% connecting and 5% resume" ~@senia)
4) Get your health checked
5) Do something for another, not for yourself

For high-achieving people who were #laidoff, you may think, "I must start applying to jobs right away." Completely, 100% not-so! Here's what to do instead ⤵️ #jobsearch #metalayoffs

5) Do something for someone else, not yourself.

It's so ridiculously easy to be online
all. the. time.

That is not how you'll find your next thing.

Instead, go help someone else - if you're a PM, find a start-up that needs volunteer/part-time help. In sales? Offer help.
