It's utterly depressing when you're laid off...

Music is one of the best legal drugs. On top it usually has no side effects.

Here's a thread about the tomato playlist I did on spotify...

(a thread)
"All roads lead to you" from Little Angels.

First I want to have more people appreciate lost #britishrock classics.

But also isn't it how it always go down with employment? (asking for a friend.)

"Kickstart my heart" from Mötley Crüe

It's a sure fire way to get over... just about anything, right?

"Life is a highway" by @TomCochraneMUS

With all my being big in 92 background and watching MTV late night...

I get to know this gem (including one of the better and harder covers) from The Office (US). What a heartbreak...

Got not a so great reason to inlcude the next one, unless that you need to be able to keep up hoping that one day it must be...

"Just like paradise" by @DavidLeeRoth

Oh and climbing, of course...

"Paying dues" from @Richie_Kotzen is another gem for those dark moments to keep the hormon levels in shape.

"It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'N' Roll)" by ACDC

Well, pretty self-explaining. Get down to it.

Here's the link to the playlist to get you through the #layoffs

Yesterday, I set up JupyterNotebooks on my laptop.

While poking around I found a nice little engineering as marketing project in the space.

It's the same playbook as we've seen from @Netlify with the
Here's what any similar project should do IMO.

Make sure it has a clear and measurable goal.

I'd venture it will have something to do with distribution and TOFU (top of funnel) content generation.
So, why not help with those.
Make sure it's easy to contribute to.

Typescript may be ok, but you need to have an easy enough data schema to to add pull request.

If you don't have any preference as easy as a @Jekyllrb blog or docs site could work. Then it's just changing the yaml data file.

Interesting stuff to see if we are living in a sort great depression. Quoted from Scott Galloway's Adrift.

But wait that's not just the U.S. in trouble

"...Zoom has asymmetric communication downside. It probably feels about half as good to get a raise on Zoom; the low-pass filter tamps it down. But it feels 10x worse when someone uses Zoom to terminate your project, or your employment – the negatives get amplified."
A 🧵
"Overall, the experience of remote work is less intense and more independent than the experience of being in-person. This is a good and a bad thing."
"Remote can be set up to be cheaper in terms of labor and office space, of course. But even more critically, remote is a key that allows companies to unlock the strongest talent in the world with less dollars or prestige."

Ok, you need to find talents and sourcing comes up but you really cannot put more resources, even cheap talent sourcers, on it...

Dez is here to help you:

A 🧵
#0 - Focus on talent density...

Talent density refers to the concentration of high-quality talent in a specific area or industry, and it plays a crucial role in finding the right candidates.
#1 - reduce talent attrition
Literally can't think of anything dumber than pushing sourcing and not fixing your leaky bucket of a company culture.

I couldn't find the earlier tweet from @HungLee where he has advocated to:
1. get an LLC (yesterday)
2. figure out the right offer (it's from @AlexHormozi, read his $100M offer 💎)
3. put together a nocode website (@carrd works)
Mini 🧵
4. research split-fee or other recruiting marketplaces (ask for users of the same to see which would work)
At this point you should be in the right lane to do more than just network, apply and pray.
But...
If you keep applying (coz why not). As a recruiter/sourcer, especially with years of experience.
You know how bad the application process can get.
So, I propose.
You find HMs, email addresses and...
Hit.

Ok, here's a Friday night proposal for how you should set up a job ad (not a description, but maybe even that) not so loosely based on the Value Equation @AlexHormozi
🧵
You start with the dream outcome... now another name for this is job to be done, if that's easier to grasp for you.

So, you have to know what unmet need the job solves for in an ideal future team member.

And you lead with that in the job ad.
Stuff that comes here:
- great boss, team members, mentoring, (growth, belonging)
- great product (to work on and grow with)
- benefits (health, safety, providing for family)
- salary range (duh)
