Job seekers – Prepare for your chance.
The old saying (maybe it’s an actual saying, maybe I just made it up, dunno) that success is when preparation and opportunity meet up has become extremely applicable today.
I know many of us in 2020 have been more active in trying to find new work options than just about any other time in our lives. It’s rough! The cool thing about this time right now is that there’s been such a wonderful and welcome community at places like LinkedIn.
People WANT TO HELP, and that’s amazing.
So what I recommend is to make it easy for them to help you! That means you need to be polished up and ready to go. Resume is tight. LinkedIn looks fresh. You’ve got samples, testimonials, and all that stuff that highlights your own personal BRAND. You know who you are, who you’re talking to, and what you want. Those that waffle around and are merely there to “take anything” will get passed over.
And that circles back to the visionary saying I created (gonna run with it)… put in the work, be prepared, and when one of our amazing Linkedin & Digital family extends their hand to help – you’re ready to succeed.
