This post from Jaylyn Jones (who is a great follow, btw) made me chuckle this morning.

There are a growing number of scraper tools to find people’s contact information, but this is a good reminder that they aren’t all very accurate.

A more reliable way is to use a tool like Hunter.io, which predicts the structure of a company email address (e.g. [email protected]), so you can deduce pretty easily the email of the person you want to reach out to!

This session is for anyone ready to take action on building a resilient career during these crazy times.

We’ve revamped our networking workshop so that after your time with us, you will have actually reached out to someone after mapping out your network, creating a cold message template, and learning networking aftercare together.

Our interactive networking workshop is next Tuesday, July 1st 6:30PM CT. For free, always.

Recording will be sent after workshop to all registered guests 👀

I’m having conversations with recruiters, hiring managers, and other talent decision-makers weekly, and want to share tidbits of what I’m learning with y’all here too! 

I thought this was a really interesting tidbit from another sales recruiter I talked to this week! They very specifically want people who are able to ask hard questions (because that’s how you surface the real pain points of a potential customer!). But during an interview, the power dynamic is different. You are trying to please the person you are talking to.

This is why I love “spicy” interview questions! Rather than just asking “what is a day in the life of this new hire?”, ask them about how the economic environment is impacting their business. Or ask them why the last person failed in this job. Or what is something about the company that they think could be better?

It shows critical thinking, strong research skills, and the ability to have a dialogue that isn’t combative!

Job searching is hard work. You deserve a break. Here’s how I took time to rest and recharge this week!

Out-of-state right now sitting near a quiet, beautiful body of water. It’s about the only thing keeping my blood pressure low during a particularly stressful week of scary headlines!
