Your 2024 Job Search Roadmap 🚀

Hey fellas!

Ready to kick off a successful job search in 2024? I've got your back with a straightforward roadmap to guide you through the process. Whether you're actively on the hunt or waiting for the perfect opportunity, these steps will set you up for success.

1: Self Audit 🧐

Take a moment to reflect. Why are you job hunting? What are you looking for? Identifying your motives and pain points helps you choose employers that align with your goals.

2: Running List of Accomplishments 📝

Jot down recent accomplishments. It's the foundation for your resume, interviews, elevator pitch – you name it.

3: Update Your Resume 📄

Keep it simple. "What you did, how you did it, and what you achieved" is the content mantra. Format-wise, 'boring is better.' Need a guide? Check out my free template [link on your profile].

4: Update Your LinkedIn 🌐

Recruiters use LinkedIn Recruiter – make sure your profile is filled out. The more details, the easier for us to find you.

5: Staying Organized 🗂️

Track your activity in real-time. Create a spreadsheet, and consider a separate email & number for job search to stay organized.

6: Job Boards 📌

Post your resume on relevant job boards for extra exposure. Recruiters often search by "recent activity," so stay active.

7: Networking 🤝

Networking is a lifelong skill. Provide value, build genuine relationships – it's not just for job searches.

8: Interview Prep 🎙️

Prepare for different types of interviews. Ask your recruiter for details, practice STAR stories, use ChatGPT for custom questions, and sharpen technical skills on platforms like LeetCode.

9: Negotiating Total Comp 💸

Discuss salary upfront. Research industry-specific compensation bands for a realistic range. Be transparent about your expectations.

Wishing you a smooth journey to your next adventure! 🚀 Feel free to reach out if you need any more tips.
