Wonsulting Newsletter #3: Score a job referral in <10 seconds doing THIS.

It's Jonathan from Wonsulting again with ANOTHER quick hack that can make a big difference in your job search. 

‍

If you’re tired of these, just let me know; but if not, I got you…

‍

Let’s keep it going (and if you need more job search help, click here).

‍

We all know referrals can significantly boost your chances of landing a job…. but how do you actually get them?

‍

I'm here to tell you it's easier than you think.

‍

First, always remember the power of relationships. 

‍

Networking, volunteering, and stepping up at work can help you create a strong professional network. 

‍

Once you've nurtured these relationships, don't hesitate to reach out and ask for a referral. 

‍

Make sure to remind them of your qualifications, and align them with the job you're eyeing.

‍

Secondly, never underestimate the power of a well-timed thank you note. 

‍

Keep the person who provided the referral updated, and don't forget to ask for feedback, even if you don't land the job this time.

‍

Now, here's the magic: you can actually score a referral in less than 10 seconds on LinkedIn. 

‍

Search "Layoff" + the company name + "referral". 

‍

Then filter to posts from the past month, and voila! You'll find people ready to offer referrals.

‍

‍

Here's a quick template to connect with them:

‍

"Hi (name), I saw your recent comment on (name's) post that you're hiring for (role) at (company). I have (your skills/experience) that I believe align well with this role. Would love to connect!"

‍

Just replace the text in the brackets, and you're good to go!

‍

Don't let job searching drag on any longer. 

‍

Try this out and let me know how it goes!

‍

Much love,

Jonathan Javier
