Think outside the box. Be creative. Do what’s never been done.

Sounds…exciting…intriguing…confusing. Whatever you hear, know this as a job seeker: there are other things you can be doing outside of just applying (spraying) and waiting (praying) for a call. 🏃‍♂️ Be active! That, I will say, is effective. Put yourself out there. Execute deliberate outreach and messaging with key decision-makers. 🚀

One powerful strategy is to sign up for company newsletters. Here’s how it works:

1. By subscribing to newsletters from your target companies, you’ll receive the most recent updates, news, and insights directly in your inbox. Stay informed! 📩

2. Leverage this information as part of your content writing. Share relevant industry news, trends, or company updates on your LinkedIn profile or personal blog. 📝

3. During interviews, reference recent company news or initiatives. Show that you’re well-informed and genuinely interested in their organization. Use that newsletter for interview prep, yo! 🎙️

4. When r̶e̶a̶c̶h̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶t̶o  cold-messaging someone at the company (via email or LinkedIn), mention specific details from their recent newsletters. This demonstrates your proactive approach and genuine interest. 📧

5. Newsletters may advertise hidden opportunities, like openings that don’t make it onto popular job boards such as Indeed or LinkedIn. By being on their mailing list, you’ll have a chance to discover these hidden opportunities. 🔍

Remember, referrals from satisfied clients are the lifeblood of my business, so I greatly appreciate anyone you send my way. As a bonus, for any referrals you send that purchase services from me, I’ll send you $25 for each! 💰
