As someone who’s happy in his current role, I’d like to collect some job advice that I can share with others.
Overall thoughts:
- I think the Linkedin Easy Apply/Apply is a bit overrated. I constantly hear stories of folks pushing it and not hearing back from companies.
- I also think companies struggle with the quantity of candidates in most roles. I was hiring and I received 100+ applications for a entry level role.
- So the question then becomes how to get around that. Lots of good thoughts here:
A really good couple of tweets on this topic.
Do not touch LinkedIn Apply. For inbound, work on projects w others and post about them. Skip HR, go straight to execs/employees. For outbound, spend 1-2 days working on a demo, or reuse prev projects related to the product/role. Do this for several months for a few places inb4 “this is too much free labour” - nope, this is deliberately time-saving. calculate the time you spend getting a degree + applying to 500 places you dgaf about. you’re doing “free labour” anyway, might as well put effort into places you want to work at.
A good place to look at jobs could be any industry boards. For economists it’s the AEA.
