1/ Hey Twitter, have you applied to 157 jobs this year and gotten a handful of interviews and still not a single offer?

[continue the thread]
2/ It’s been a rough year for many of us and being unemployed is a huge added stressor to that.

Here are a few of the main issues I’ve seen with students in my program.
3/ ISSUE #1

You’re limiting yourself to one single strategy - applying on job boards.

Job boards have a really low success rate. Unless your resume and skill set is really outstanding, you’re competing against HUNDREDS of other applicants and your chances are low.
4/ ISSUE #2

You’re not being intentional.

It may seem like the right approach to browse and apply for whatever kind of fits.

But you’re fitting a square peg in a round hole.

So the opposite. Sit down and design your next role. Wants, work, companies and deal breakers.
5/ ISSUE #3

You’re up in your own head.

You’ve written and rewritten your resume a hundred times. You FEEL EXHAUSTED and are using a lot of energy, but aren’t actually applying to very many jobs.

Focus on outreach and connections. Talk to everyone you know!
6/ ISSUE #4

You’re getting interviews but not landing them.

This takes practice. Practice with a friend or a career coach.

It’s likely that you’re coming across unfocused, or you haven’t mapped out specific quantifiable accomplishments for them to latch on to.
7/ ISSUE #5

You’re not following up!

The “thank you” email is not just a formality. It is a critical step in the process.

In it you can:

1- Remind them about the things they loved about you.

2- Address any of their concerns or mistakes you made

3- Give some extra details
8/ Over the course of the 2020, I’ve been able to help people like Blake.

- spent 9 months applying
- applied to between 160-220 jobs

He just got a great job that hit his target salary right from the start.

With some negotiation coaching we landed him $5K more. 🔥
9/ Then we’ve got people like Annie. Annie was a MACHINE.

- spent 12 months job searching
- applied to 160 jobs
- got LOTS of interviews

But couldn’t land a job.

3 weeks into my program she landed a job offer $20K higher than her last job.
10/ Then we have people like Andrew who spent a lot of money on other career programs who have them very generic advice that didn’t help much with his specific circumstance.

They didn’t give him:

- support and accountability
- help and feedback when an opportunity came up
11/ Then we’ve got Jorge

- applied for 160 jobs
- spent 12 months job seeking

3 weeks into the program, using the email outreach techniques I taught him, he landed an incredible job offer.

Then he was afraid to negotiate. When we did, he got $5K higher salary.
12/ Then we’ve got Marsha

Marsha was great, she just needed to quantify what she has done and what she expects to accomplish at this new company.

She landed a great offer, then with some salary negotiation coaching, we landed her a second offer $10K HIGHER! 🔥🔥🔥
13/ So a bit more about the program I offer:

- 6 weeks
- Group coaching
- Live calls every Saturday
- 10:30am - 12:00noon
- 1-on-1 calls with me for any major event (interview, salary negotiation etc)
- Private slack accountability group
- A total overhaul on your job search
14/ In just the first week, you’ll start building out an insanely-organized job search pipeline the likes of which you’ve never seen before.

Here you’ll see precisely who is reading your emails and when to help you make data-driven decisions on what to focus your efforts on.
15/ If that sounds like your jam the next program starts on Saturday, January 9th so don’t wait!

1/ Hello world,

@stefanpalios and I have some really exciting news. In many of my career coaching discussions, a lot of what came up was the fact that many people have started freelancing.

[continue the thread]
2/ This fell directly in line with something I read on Stefan's freelancing blog, @PulseBlueprint:

"There are nearly 60 million freelancers in the United States alone"

"58% of people that went remote due to COVID are now considering freelancing"

So that called for action
3/ Freelancing can be really challenging. It involves a lot of really interesting skills that take time to learn and develop on your own.

- building a website
- taxes, accounting, finances
- marketing
- sales
- project management

and so much more

1/ Building a Coaching Business
Part 2: Updates Since Launch

Since the last thread (attached), there have been some really exciting developments.

2/ First, I got my first 4 paying students in my first cohort. We've had our first two classes so far and it has been so incredible.

The format has generally been:

1- Introductions/Check-Ins/Learnings
2- Agenda for the Day
3- Lesson + Interactive Workshop
4- Homework
3/ Every week, I've been taking my outlined curriculum and building out the slide deck in @canva (just so beautifully easy) to prepare and refine the module and presentation for the week.

I try to make the presentations a combination of lecture + workshop + accountability.

1/ I hit a career milestone today. My most organized vacation plan ever.

On 8/14 I wrapped up work before a 9 day vacation:

- Contacted all my clients I would be away
- Delegated outstanding tasks
- Provided instructions for support and an emergency contact
2/ By doing that, I was able to COMPLETELY unplug from work for the whole 9 days!

- Disabled work calendars
- Logged out of work emails from my phone and computer
- Logged out of SLACK (big one)
- Logged out of Zoho

So I was able to fully enjoy my vacation.
3/ Coming back to work this morning, I was confident things were well-handled, but I was still curious about what I’d see when I logged back into work emails and Slack.

1/ I don’t have many people I know who are at the same stage of early entrepreneurship as I am but Twitter friends, I have you, so I wanted to share a bit about my story of the early stages of building @joinclearcareer, as well as some of my biggest fears and recent milestones 🙌
2/ As I’ve mentioned before, a few years ago I started a Facebook group called the ClearCareer Peer Mentorship Community (well originally a Slack group actually but that didn’t take).
3/ My aim for the group was to create a community where job seekers would share resources, ask for help, celebrate wins, share their struggles and more.
