Are you tired of applying to hundreds of jobs and not getting any results? Then it’s time to learn to network… with purpose.
Times have changed, and so has the job market. Applying to hundreds even thousands of open positions isn’t working. It’s time to evolve your job search and learn to make your own waves to find your next job.
I’ve been there, hitting the send button on yet another job application. Hoping maybe this will be “the one” only to receive yet another rejection.
Or even worse no response at all.
Months later my job search folder hit 300 rejections and my confidence was rocked.
I thought, Is it me? Is it my resume? I started to think maybe I’m not that good at my job.
As my confidence started to wither away I started to question whether I could even do my job anymore. That little voice in my head kept saying, it has to be me. There is something wrong with me.
After weeks turned into months and months turned into a year. It was time to do something different. That’s when I started to network. I started reaching out to contacts in my network to check in, to let them know what had happened and I slowly got opportunities to freelance.
But I didn’t just send any email, I sent an email that was specific and actionable, and that made all the difference.
