Recap:
- Think of a job search as social engineering your way into an organization
- Use that framework to figure out what the org cares about, who cares about it and then how to position yourself so that person sees your "work"
- "Work" b/c it's not your resume, it's something that CLEARLY identifies that you are the perfect person for the role.
- b3kart 4y agoAnd after all of this work your resume gets ignored because the recruiter got distracted for the 5 seconds that he has to look at each of 1000 resumes in his pile.
- alexpotato 4y agoThe point of this whole process is to bypass the gatekeeping recruiter.
