Dear Jobseeker

If you are looking for a job

Stop commenting on scammy HR posts on LinkedIn

Instead optimise your LinkedIn Profile

Create a list or companies and openings

Find HR's and people in the same role you are looking for

And start reaching them out for referral

Only if it was so easy to get a job by commenting on someone's post.

Indians employment problem would have vanished

Put the efforts, take a smarter approach.

Good luck :)

Who has this on their resumes?

I removed all the educational qualifications from LinkedIn 😑

But added a new one and everybody is losing their minds 🤭

Well, here is the thing.

I truly believe I have learnt the most from Google

And when I say most, I mean almost everything

I cleared most of the exams in engineering not because of classroom lectures

But because I used to binge-watch Lynda or Udemy or YouTube channels to learn the subject.

I learnt Photoshop from Google.

I learnt to make websites from Google.

I learnt digital marketing from Google.

I learnt almost everything that's helping me making money from Google.

So, I choose to put only one tile in my education section.

GOOGLE SEARCH

Now you might ask, would I do the same on my resume?

No, but how I wish. If you know what I mean.

I truly believe in learning. I am not a fan of education, that way it is.

Just my thoughts :)

PS: I don't suggest this for people who are looking for new jobs. The world still believes in certificates and formal education.

I find it super fun when people put Harvard's and Stanford's as educational qualification by doing some online course.

If you are a startup founder or want to startup sometime soon,

This is the email that Elon Musk has sent to all the employees of Twitter.

It says you will know if you are layed off or not 12 hours later 😣

Twitter management asked it's employees to not to come to office,

Blocked everybody's key cards,

And said at 9am PST they will get an email which will tell them if they still have the job at Twiter,

Or if they are fired 🤯

All this in just a week of Elon taking over Twitter

I got to say this is the worst way to handle the situation,

I would be absolutely trimatised and lose my shit if was a Twitter employee.

Lost a lot of respect for Elon after looking at how he is handling this.

Thoughts?

Here is a big announcement! 🇮🇳🙏

Launching $500,000 fund with GrowthSchool's Project Rise Again: An initiative to give 100% scholarship to people impacted by layoffs

After seeing so many companies like Amazon, Meta, Google, and Microsoft layoff off people, we thought “Can we do something?”

Our team and mentors at growthschool thought to launch this initiative to do our bit

We at Growthschool, along with our mentors have taken a pledge to set aside a fund of $500,000 🙏

How to apply for the scholarship? (Link in comments)

Can't keep cool.

Elon Musk just replied to my Tweet 🤯😂

He took the time out via a thread explaining how he acquired almost a non-functional company and flipped that to what it is today, Tesla.

Exactly why I think, Twitter has a great potential under Elon's leadership.

It's raining unicorns in India,

In just last 10 days

Cred
Meesho
PharmEasy
ShareChat
Groww

OfBusiness

and now Zeta has become unicorns.

Also, in just last 10 days, almost 3B USD of funding has been raised with Swiggy topping it at 800M USD .

Cant wait for these Indian brands to go global🔥

I have some news.

Yes! I have not been very active on LinkedIn for a while ( due to some personal problems) but then I realised, I shouldn't get one thing to affect others.

So, here I am with an ambitious plan for the next 4 weeks.

So I am planning 4 LinkedIn LIVE's in next coming 4 weeks each, 30-40 minutes where I will take you through steps to get your LinkedIn game.

Why LIVE?
I can address your questions right then and thereafter I talk about the topic.

So, who is this for?
- someone trying to find leads
- someone looking for a job
- someone looking to build a personal brand

Here is what I would be covering in the 4 sessions.

Week 1:
Overall strategy and profile optimisation

Week 2:
Leveraging LinkedIn search to find the right people to add to your connections

Week 3:
Writing messages that get responses

Week 4:
LinkedIn content strategies

Want to be notified when I go live?
Just like the post and drop a comment below.

Could be anything like, I am interested or yes I am in ( browny points for creativity )


LinkedIn will automatically send a notification to everyone who recently engaged with my content
(that's how the LinkedIn live algorithm works)

Want me to cover anything specific? Have suggestions on day and time?

Drop them in comments below!


Peace ✌

Coca Cola, Pepsi, Verizon, Hershey, Diego have stopped running ads on FB

As a result, Mark Zuckerburg's net value down by $7 billion

And FB share-price dropped, eliminated $56 billion from the market value

But why are brands with such heavy marketing pockets dropping?

Its the #StopHateForProfit campaign

This is to push FB to improve their efforts against hate speech and disinformation

Remember Cambridge analytica fiasco?

Zuck has responded to this fast and now FB will start labelling posts

And if there is some content which might lead to violence or anything of that sorts,

The post would be taken down, irrespective of who posted

Ehmm! trump het

When you think of on the line of Fb, it's super hard to moderate millions of content pieces that go out.

Especially during an ongoing pandemic with reduced staff

But post the George Floyd incident, people are more sensitive than ever ( they should be too )

While big brands can do this, can small business handle the pressure of getting off FB which could be their major source of leads/ revenue?

On the other side, the ad price would go down due to more inventory being available

But I see a definite snowball effect and more major brands joining this.

Thoughts?

One of the biggest selling point of a college is networking

With COVID, thats almost not a possibility.

Colleges dont know how to teach online

This calls for the rise of affordable quality education by teachers who have lived the practical life.

The growth of independent strong subject matter experts will go up and real live mentors would become teachers.

Make sure you take the right call.

If you are still chasing certificates,

God save you!

MailChimp gets acquired for $12B by Intuit 🤯

While there are 1000's of tools which can send emails,

what's so special about MC? 👇

MailChimp is a completely bootstrapped business,

It was founded in 2001,

and it is so well known that it has almost become a synonym to email marketing.

It's the first email marketing tool, I ever used.

But here is where the magic is,

last year, MailChimp did a revenue of $750M,

and made a profit of $250M

It has 140M customers, yes million 😅

2.4M of them are monthly active customers,

and has over 800K paid customers.

All this took them almost 20+ years to get to.

Now the acquisition number doesn't seem big enough right?

With this acquisition, Intuit will be able to expand their offerings for small and medium sized businesses.

Is MailChimp the best marketing automation tool out there?

I don't think so,

I personally don't use MailChimp anymore,

but I recommend it to every one who getting started,

reason?

It's super simple to use and a great free plan making it perfect for small busineses.

And I think they deserve the value they got.

Have you ever used MailChimp?

let me know 👇

Finalllyyyy! Its time for the first batch of the year
Batch 22 of the LinkedIn 5Day Workshop just got kicked off!

This is going to be a special one,

Reason?

More than 600 people i.e. more than 50% of the registrations came from word of mouth.

Yes! I stopped running ads for 2 weeks, but registrations didn’t stop coming.

A total of 1200+ people are going to spend the first few weeks of the year learning the art of LinkedIn.

Super stoked about this!

Are you part of the Batch 22?

let me know in the comments :D

Also if you have still not taken it, find the link in the first comment and join in!!

The day you stop improvising, you start losing!

Perfection is an ideal state, It doesn't exist.
