YIEE: Weekly Newsletter
Hi dear,
Today I will be sharing with you a letter to job seekers.
Dear job seekers,
I understand the hassle of getting a job.
The stress in job applications.
The pains of rejections.
The mental stress that comes with a no.
But
Over time, I've come to understand "not all #jobs are meant for you"
I also understood, being rejected doesn't mean you are unqualified for the job. It is only proof that you're not what the employer(s) is/are seeking.
I applied for over 200+ jobs, got rejections for almost all.
I came up with this principle:
"Instead of seeking to apply for 200 jobs, I will apply for jobs that I know the employer need me (my skills and capacities)."
This changed my job search strategy.
How The Strategy Works
- Made 5 job search peers who are looking at getting a job in the same field as myself.
- Reach out to hiring managers and recruiters informing them of my skills, capacity and interest in working with them and in their company.
- Apply for jobs only when I've networked with insiders.
Boom, my story changed!!
I will love to hear your thoughts?
Appreciation to Jonathan Javier💡 and Jerry Lee 💡, through their contents I was able to get a job with Bitnob
