Refreshing Recruitment Ltd’s Post

Day 2 of automating my way to a dream job in 60 days. Thought I'd share my strategic assumptions & targets 🎯 🎯 My overall thesis goes a little like this: ▶ If I can... 1. Apply for >5k jobs (with relevant, tailored applications) 2. Connect with >1k relevant people in the industry 3. Connect with > 100 relevant recruiters 4. Create engaging content that people see 5. Follow-up with each of the above, maximizing conversions ▶ Then... I have a decent chance of getting 3 job offers in 60 days ⚡ Would love to hear your thoughts & challenges. What do you agree/disagree with? What am I missing? ⚡

Let's Talk: Time Management! I know how long is it taking you to go to each employers’ website. I know how long it is taking you to review each job description to see if your KSAs align. I know how long it is taking you find meaningful employment. Because I have done it - but you DO NOT have to do it anymore! Let Oplign do the work for you! With its easy process of extracting the job postings from employer websites and delivering them directly to you!

The other day I came across a post in which someone said he's applying for... Wait for it... 150 jobs a day! And yes, someone confirmed with him that he didn't mistype. I don't even know how that's possible. I guess you can do that IF you're applying via LinkedIn Easy Apply AND you're just applying to anything and everything. But you definitely shouldn't be doing that. In fact, not only shouldn't you be applying to 150 jobs a day, you shouldn't be applying to 150 jobs a week. And you probably shouldn't be applying to 150 jobs a month. Instead, you need to focus on the following: ➡️ Researching companies and roles you're interested in ➡️ Applying for jobs where you meet most or all of the qualifications ➡️ Spending a few minutes tweaking your resume so it fits the particular position ➡️ Applying directly through the company website when possible ➡️ Building a quality network that can help you with referrals when appropriate ➡️ Upgrading your skills as needed I know that sometimes people feel desperate. But the "spray and pray" method of applying for jobs is the worst possible method that you can use. A more methodical and systematic approach will almost always yield better results and quicker results....

Looking to land a new role—especially one that you haven't done before? Here's the secret: transferable skills. Recruiters and hiring managers need to see how your past experiences make you perfect for the role you're aiming for now. It's not just about listing skills — it's about making them relevant to the job you're applying for. When you showcase your skills in a way that CONNECTS to the role, you make it easy for them to imagine you in it. Want more career-boosting strategies like this?

Over the past year, I’ve had the opportunity to interview talented individuals from different backgrounds and with different skillsets. I’ve posted probably a dozen job openings this year, with all the details laid out, requirements, responsibilities etc. I’ve received a lot of messages of friends and mutuals who showed interest in those positions. There were a couple of reoccuring factors that differentiated the “Most Likely To Get The Job” to the “Least Likely To Get The Job”. Instead of going into the details, I’ll just share a couple of tips below that I believe would be helpful for many. 1. If you are interested in the job, do not wait to apply. Get to work and apply fast. 2. If not given in the job details, AVOID asking for the Deadline! It shows that you wait to get things done and are not proactive! 3. After applying, if you don’t hear back from anyone, follow up. I have only ever seen good come out of a follow-up. 4. Present yourself like you are serious. Whether it is your friend that is hiring, an acquaintance, or someone you know, be very professional and serious in your outreach, even if it is your childhood friend. 5. Ask questions, but do not ask about what has already been mentioned in the job posts. 6. Update your CV/Portfolio before every application :’) It must be updated with experience and skills that are relevant to Job. You are competing with atleast 10-20 more people on the same skill level. You must standout. What I’ve realized is that the moment you see a job post, your intervew starts right there and then. Although these are very generic advices, but it’s just a reminder. We often don’t realize the importance of giving just that “extra little effort” behind things.

Would you rather be spending your time applying for jobs online and competing against 300+ people, or have 8 conversations that could lead to your dream role? Traditional job seeking is so inefficient and disempowering. People come to me exhausted, losing confidence and questioning their ability. Understanding their strengths is the key to regaining their confidence and finding a best-fit role. With this Dream Role in 30 Days mini-masterclass bundle, you will: - Get to know your strengths - Understand how to talk about your unique abilities - Learn how to get noticed and hired without relying on job search websites.

Job applicants: Ask WHY the position is open. Here's what you might learn: ✳️ "The person in the position was promoted." 👉 It shows you how they might promote from within and indicates a possible path for your future advancement. And it gives you a potential mentor if you're hired. ✳️ "The person got a job with XXXX company." 👉 It gives you a hint of where your next job could be. If it is a bigger or better company, it could be a good next step. If it isn't, it could be a red flag. Or not. Also, It gives you someone to call to see what the company is really like. ✳️ "The person is no longer with us." 👉 Different meanings. Follow up cautiously. If they were fired, the interviewer likely won't elaborate. It could mean that the company has standards and doesn't tolerate poor performance. ✳️ "The person retired." 👉 Maybe a lifer? A good sign. ✳️ "This is a new position." 👉 Follow up: Are they expanding? Could be a good sign that they're growing. But be aware that they might be overextending. Remember: The interview is not only the company checking you out. It is your opportunity to check out the company. Take advantage of it.
