LinkedIn: Rumor has it that recruiters on average take this amount of time to look at resumes....

6 seconds.

6 seconds. Yet, some companies still require applicants to fill out the exact same information on other forms which takes sometimes hours yet days to fill an entire application.

Let's change that and get a resume that gets looked at here: https://bit.ly/3DekY5U

LinkedIn: What do you all think?

IMO: I did this in my own career and was able to increase my compensation significantly. It truly depends on how you see it and what you value the most: Is it staying at one company and rising up the ranks? Is it moving companies for better opportunity?

LinkedIn: I saw this note, & it felt like a message I needed to hear today... and honestly, it's a message I've needed to hear throughout my life!

It's easy to get caught up in trying to impress others - whether it's the companies we’re applying to, the people we’re networking with, or even just the perceptions others may have of us on our journey.

It's a trap I've fallen into myself many times, and sometimes it's something I still struggle with.

But here’s the truth I've learned (and what I keep reminding myself):
💡It’s your journey, not anyone else’s. Your path to success will be unique, and that’s okay.
💡Focus on your dreams & goals. Let that be your compass. If they align with others, then that’s a bonus.
💡Stop trying to impress those who don’t matter & start focusing on what does - you.

So if you feel like you've been getting off track, remember this reminder and get back to chasing your dreams. You got this!

Let's refocus our energy & turn those dreams into realities! (And if you need help: https://bit.ly/3pDbGLV)

LinkedIn: This is one of the best advice I've applied in my career 🙌

You learn or you earn.

It's applicable to not only every person's career, but it's also applicable to the #JobSearch.

Think about it: for applications, you get rejected or accepted. Either is fine. Both is best. But if it's neither, than something is wrong with the system.

You might ask “why is either fine“ and “both is best“?

In my opinion, it's better for a job-seeker to know whether or not they're in or they're out, not in a period of waiting weeks on end to hear back which may greatly affect their mental health.

So what do I encourage?
💡 If you don't hear back from an application, it's okay. Move onto the next job to apply to, and also start to network with people who are in the role you're applying to (+1 if it's someone who's at that company!)
💡 If you don't hear back after an interview and it's been a couple of days, follow-up: the worst thing that can happen is say “I don't have an update yet“ but the best? Reassurance, a timeline, potential peace of mind.

LinkedIn: Let's breakdown EXACTLY how a phone/coffee chat should go.

In the past few years, I've had thousands of coffee chats with professional/recruiters and have helped many do the same. When I was on my #JobSearch, I'd prepare for these by creating a folder titled “Phone Chats/Interview“ with research/questions.

The pain point I always get is “what should I ask during my #coffeechats?“. Here's a breakdown:
🗣️5 min (Intro): How your day's going, what you're looking forward to, etc.
🗣️10 min (Story): Share stories, ask questions regarding journey to where they are today; express your interests on how their story is relatable to yours
🗣️10 min (Role/Company/The Why): Ask questions where you can answer their answer with your own answer. Ex: I know for a Data Analyst role at LinkedIn you do xyz, they would answer “Yes I do that in xyz..“ then you'd say “That's awesome, I've done that in my past experiences with xyz“
🗣️5 min (The Ask/Thank You): Ask for help; be considerate of time. Should you ask for a referral? You can if you're comfortable. Don't just say “give me a referral“; ask how you can get an interview.

I'm happy to share one of these phone chat structures in a breakdown next week; let me know in the comments if I should make something for y'all!

LinkedIn: Talk about opportunities…

Are opportunities truly close to you? The answer is YES. You are closer to opportunities than you have ever been.

Think about this; 
💡Every win, every success you have got is not a stroke of luck. It is a result of your hustle and hard work. 
💡One way or another, you have moved from a lower to a higher position through your own efforts.

So, here's the deal: if you did it once, you can do it again.

This may be bigger. But you can do it again.

Don't wait for chances; make them.

Look inward and figure out how to use your current assets to succeed again.

I raise a glass to everyone powering up to spot opportunities and amplify their strengths! 🍸(Help available here: https://bit.ly/3pDbGLV)

LinkedIn:  there will be many setbacks in your life journey.

Whether it's academics, marriage, finances, or landing your dream job.

But there's always a chance for those who don't live by other people's timelines.

I always thought I had to hit X by age Y or it’d be too late. And society would think I failed.

But delay is never denial, friends. Missing a deadline means setting a new one and continuing to strive.

Shake it off and pursue your dreams.

You got this! (And if you need #JobSearch help: https://bit.ly/3L1cl2b)

#JWoW #Wonsulting #JobTips #Hiring #JobSearch

LinkedIn: it's the first steps that matter for you to land a job, especially during these times.

And why do I say this? Because it's hard to even start on your #JobSearch - let me tell you.

You're given so much information on what you have to do to land an opportunity:
- You have to apply to jobs
- You have to network
- You have to interview
- You have to figure out how much $ you should be paid
- You have to negotiate your salary
- You have to have coffee chats
- You have to be “sociable“

There are so many things that people will say you have to do, but know this.

Everyone has their own path to land into their career; it's never linear nor the same.

But what is the same is..
💡 Many are scared the first steps on their job search
💡 Many are worried to submit an application because they thought they'd be rejected
💡 Many are worried that they'll be judged based on their non-traditional backgrounds

And it's okay to feel this way - I've felt this same way.

I'm here to tell you once you take those first steps, you'll be well on your way.

💡My advice to do this? Connect with fellow job-seekers who are also taking their first steps, and take them together. Trade ideas and strategies that you've used to land interviews. Connect each other to opportunities, whether to connections or mentors.

We're all in this together - shoutout to those taking the first steps today (and if you ever need help: https://bit.ly/3pDbGLV)

LinkedIn: if meetings were like this... things would be different!

Seriously - not everything has to be a meeting...

But if you do plan to have meetings, remember this:
- Each meeting must have a clear goal and agenda, whether it's for a 1:1 or team meeting.
- If it's a meeting with your manager, come with intentional questions and blockers you're experiencing to get advice/insights
- The best meetings are ones that are straight to the point and achieve the goal mentioned when the meeting starts

And remember to start practicing your planks... (But seriously though, if you need #jobsearch help: https://bit.ly/3yFJufo)

LinkedIn: If recruiters are reaching out to you with job opportunities you're not interested in, instead of ignoring them, please consider connecting them with someone in your network who might be a better fit.

Not only will the recruiter appreciate it, but you may just make a life-altering introduction for someone else (Keep track of your connections here: https://bit.ly/351yiy2)

Some recruiters I appreciate are...
- Nicky Slavich: For inspiring hundreds of thousands on their job searches
- Nicole Fernandez-Valle: For always being involved with helping job-seekers through our Wonsulting Events
- Sophia Valdez M.Ed. 🚀: For her involvement with helping so many and amplifying so many voices
- Brittney Swan 🦢: For always sharing with me incredible recruiter insights
- Niki W.: For making job-seekers not just employees, but top performers
- Megan (O'Meara) Jacobson and Vivian Chen for being incredible mentors and supporting me since Day 1

Which recruiters do you appreciate?

#JWoW #Wonsulting

I'm always asked “how do I get a referral for a company?“

The answer is simple: you just ask (in a non-subtle way).

When? On a phone chat. I know it sometimes feels taboo to ask (I felt this way b/c of how I grew up) but you have to if you need help.

How? During the last part of your chat, say this:
“Hi (name), thanks for taking time to speak with me. As mentioned during our chat and my experience, I'm interested in (function) at (company). While on your #careers website, I came across the (role) at (company). I'd love to get my foot in the door. How do I get an interview?“

Two scenarios can happen:
🗣️Person will say “I can refer you“
🗣️Person will give you advice on how to get an interview

If the 2nd scenario happens, say this:
“Thank you for the advice. Who would you suggest I connect with that would know more about the role?'

By doing this, you can speak with another person and repeat the same cycle.

Before your chat: research positions to reference that are applicable to your experience. Know what you want and have an “ask“.

During your chat, ask questions where you can exemplify your experience/interest.

After your chat, send a thank you/follow-up.

Make the person's life easy, easy for them to refer and help you in your career.

Don’t just hit “Easy Apply” and hope for the best – you’re competing against hundreds of applicants.
Here’s a better way to stand out:
💡When you see an Easy Apply role, find the person hiring for it directly.
💡Then, take the role and company name, paste them into a message generator, and craft a personalized message.
💡After applying, send the message to the hiring manager to make a memorable impression.

Want to know why this works? Because you’re taking initiative – and that’s what hiring managers notice.

LinkedIn: Raise your hand if you ever let fear stop you from doing something?🙋‍♂️

Me too!

Change is one of the scariest parts in the #jobsearch. I remember when I started a new job at companies like Snap Inc. and Google, I found myself being challenged everyday in my career.

Fast forward to today and I challenge myself everyday, and because of overcoming ear and embracing change I have been able to accomplish more than I imagined.

Go off and do something wonderful because that something might become your #dreamjob (Find yours here: https://bit.ly/3pDbGLV)

I got burned out the last few weeks and took a break from posting on LinkedIn. Many people warned me, but I kept going & realized that mental health is SO important.

However, I realize silence is wrong when we’re at a time when people need us for hope/positivity. Thus, I’ve been working hard with our team to do more for our #communities. To turn underdogs into winners is what I always strive for & to amplify the voices of our community that is built on helping hundreds of thousands.

I’m excited to announce the following from the past week:
🗣️ Our next Wonsulting Speaker Series will be on Sat, June 27. We have speakers from 30+ companies including Google, LinkedIn, Cisco, Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Salesforce, Lyft, Slack, Spotify, Square, Hulu, PlayStation, Accenture, McKinsey & Company, BCG Digital Ventures, Bain & Company, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, PwC, #Disney & more! Details to come end of week.

Remember to take mental breaks! If you're interested in any of these, comment #Wonsulting & I'll reach out!

LinkedIn: Going through obstacles is sometimes easier than you think. \n\nAs a disclaimer, I know this is going to be hard sometimes. \n\nBut you can make problems seem smaller by trivializing them.\n\nHow? \n💡 Break it down: Tackling problems step by step makes them more manageable. Often, they feel overwhelming until you break them down.\n💡 Number them: Notice how things fall into place when numbered? Start by ranking tasks in order of importance, like problem one, problem two, and so on. \n💡Defer worry and use humor: Postpone thinking about the problem until later, often it seems less significant with time. Also, find humor in the situation to lighten the mental load.\n\nAnd there you go! \n\nThere's always more. But these few can help you get ahead with #JobSearch problems.\n\nGo tackle those problems!
