I get this question a lot from friends and colleagues: “Should I apply for this job?” I often check out the job description and say, "You're totally ready for this" But then, they don't apply Why? Usually, it comes down to two things: ⭐️ Thinking they’re not good enough ⭐️ Spotting something in the job description that they don’t have When you hold back, you're potentially giving up on a chance that could be the opportunity you've been dreaming of. Here’s my take: if you meet about 70% of the job description, go for it and apply! You’ve got nothing to lose. What do think?

The Dream Job Walk Begins… On the way home from a walk, I was asked the question: “Can you tell me everything you know about dream jobs until we are at home?” We decided to record my answer (and the walk home was pretty long—about 20 minutes). I am now sharing this over the next 24 days with you, posting around 30 Seconds to 1 minute of the answer each day, split into specific parts. So, if you are interested in what I shared in response to his question, keep watching! I will be posting one part of the answer every day at 8 AM for the next 24 days.

Let me get one thing clear -- Lattice has been the best company I've worked for thus far. Yes...better than Gong. Better than Airtable. Better than Culture Amp. Better than whatever larger than life company brand, rocketship tech company with the coolest gizmos and doodads. Let me tell you why... Before I hit my 90 day mark, I didn't even have to wait to get the go ahead to prioritize myself when an unforeseen sequence of events catapulted me into a health crisis...and then was offered up resources (including paid leave) When I came back to work and let my boss and our HRBP know that experience meant I couldn't perform the way I could before the crisis, we worked together to explore ALL options (including moving into a different role). I've been at companies where you had to work at the company for at least 1 year before being eligible to move into another department...I've been at companies where leave wasn't offered for the first 9 months of employment...and I've certainly been at companies where being on leave doesn't guarantee you'll return back to work and even have a job (*cough* set up to fail and get performance managed out *cough*). Leaving a company doesn't always have to be a response to a crappy work environment...sometimes it's simply a signal that life has other plans and I can just appreciate the fact I got to work with amazing people who simply care about me as a person. I shared a post yesterday saying I'm looking for my backfill...because I believe that much in folks like Jessica Smith (#bestboss) and a company who doesn't just talk the talk, but truly walks the walk in taking care of their people. So if you know of anyone who'd be a great Senior Manager for Sales Development, send them my way. And if you're on the fence of if you want to apply to Lattice or not...consider this my invitation to get in!

You're 6 degrees of separation away from someone who can hire you for your dream job: Take LinkedIn as an example: 1st Degree → People directly connected to you 2nd Degree → People connected to your 1st connections 3rd Degree → People connected to your 2nd connections The same applies in real life. One conversation starter can connect you to your key person. One of our candidates Sarah did the same. Job applications got her no where. But a conversation with an old colleague opened the doors for her. In the snap of a finger, she got a dream role at the company she always wished for. This is the reason I do what I do at Eleven Eleven. -> Help others power through their career paths. If you're on the decision-making fence, take action! Because remember: You're only 6 degrees from making it happen. PS. Has 1 conversation moved the needle for you?

Why are you getting rejected even with enough experience? - You're not learning from each rejection. - Make sure your application fits the right job role. - Stop applying for every similar role; focus on specific roles. Random applications can drain your hope, confidence, and time. Concentrate on the roles that match your skills and experience. If you need guidance on overcoming these rejections, feel free to DM me.
