@anna..papalia: 3 things you can do today to get a new job and no I am not going to tell you to update your resume or go on LinkedIn. I hate LinkedIn. LinkedIn is a scam, predatory to job seekers and gaslighting all of you. Step 1️⃣The most important first step in finding a new job is to figure out what you where you want to end up. 🪄If you had a magic wand and could create your dream job at the perfect company, what would that look like? 📝Write it down. Get really clear on what it is you want. Step 2️⃣ Let’s say you want to work at a small to mid-sized non-profit that works with children 20-30 miles from your house. 🧑🏽‍💻Now all you need to do is Google that “non-profit near me” and create a list. Step 3️⃣ Now that you have a list of 16 companies where you want to work, go on their websites and do some research. ▪️Do you like their mission and values? ▪️Can you see yourself working there? ▪️Do you know anyone that works there or has worked there? ▪️Can you ask them to refer you into the company? ▪️Look at the jobs that they have listed. Do you like what you see? If so, apply online but do not stop there, email the recruiter & include the link to the job posting that you applied to and ask for a job interview. 👋🏻Find the names of people who work there and figure out their email addresses and email them directly. (DO NOT EMAIL PEOPLE ON LINKEDIN) 👨🏻‍💼The best people to email are decision makers, think Executive Vice Presidents, Directors of HR or Talent, Department heads (people who are in charge of hiring) ❌Don’t waste your time emailing entry level people they don’t make decisions. ⚡️Or you could make a one-page website or a portfolio and send it to them. 🔥You could solve one of their problems and make a post about it on social media and tag the company and key decision makers. ❌You do NOT have to wait for a company to post a job you like. ❌You do NOT have to look through job postings on LinkedIn all day. 👉🏼Instead, figure out what you want, what companies offer those jobs and go after it👈🏼 Good luck🍀 @Vanessa Van Edwards let’s see if this armpit trick works. #jobsearch #unemployed #job #newjob #LearnOnTikTok

LinkedIn is a scam. Especially if you’re advertising there.

This shit just keeps getting better and better. Repetitious as fuck mind you but at least the language is getting more relatable. 😜

Dude737 :

I don't know, I'm on the 4th and final step for a good position with a large employer who I cold applied for from a LinkedIn job posting. I've had several interviews from other LinkedIn postings too. I'm not saying there's not a lot of trash on there, there absolutely is. But don't throw the baby out with the bath water and just totally ignore LinkedIn either, use it in conjunction with others. Just my 2 cents 👐

are you able to do coaching for interviews?

ReneeA :

Love this! I have a question when it comes to social media. What are your thoughts when the president, VP and colleagues request to be connected to your personal social media accounts? Obviously not ideal but would you remove these people?
