I've yet to post a twitter 🧵 for my top #jobsearch tips and resources.
So, let's do this.

## Helicopter view ##
Here's my first version concentrating on the level of hardship of different channels to source job leads in different stages of the job search.
I'm not so happy with it at this point, but still kind of useful.

Here's my latest try to show the effort needed at different stages of your #jobsearch
Not sure if it makes sense. You tell me.
Let me pull these apart...

The chart is the optimal layout of a jobsearch project.
1. #personalbranding--may take most to prepare/set it up. And you gotta keep doing it.

Prepare=figure out what you want to show. Personally, professionally, keep documenting your ups and your learnings.

2. #networking--a bit of preparation (learn how to figure what to give before you ask vs asking what to give), keep doing it, pull in the ask at the close. Should take most of your overall effort.

3. Direct approach--preparation, not too hard; hunt, can be automated; close, may need extra resources to be good at it.
You have the lead, but that means more work.

4. #jobboards--use them to prepare (market mapping, research of industries, salary, companies.) Use them to get leads, but automate it as much as you can.

5. #recruiting agencies--generally shouldn't be a focus. Outsourcing research, lead generation comes with a price tag.
Can be faster but just know you're a bum to be put on a seat with a price tag hanging in your neck.

I will tag a few folks I'd love to get the 2c from:
@jantegze @AnaisNeumann @randomrecruiter @Humanheadhunter @ed_han
Feel free to add your fav job search advice tweeple.
And best of luck!

Now, the ## resources ##

For preparation follow @jantegze and check out his stuff bio.link/jantegze P.S. has wrote books for both sides.

For the hunt (but a bit for the whole #jobsearch) you can't hurt yourself with a great @notion dashboard for keeping track of the moving parts of your job search project. Here's one from @AnaisNeumann

For closing and interview preparation:

I'd combine some coaching, in the US you can go follow Jeff @TheBigGameHuntr Altman, @randomrecruiter, @YogaPantsRec, @Humanheadhunter
AND
Train with interviews with #chatGPT (which can help with preparation and hunt to of course.)

What or who did I forget?
