In this episode, Nathan covered many topics, some of them he will deal with in more detail in his soon to be released book. Some of the key points we discussed include:
· LinkedIn is your friend in your search, get to know it’s power and use it to your advantage.
· Networking is not transactional; it is relationship based and long-term focused.
· Spend time learning, at least 1 hour a week or 1 hour a day, think of the growth you can achieve if you invest in yourself 365 hours each year!
· Always use thank you notes after interviews or discussions, in today’s electronic world, they take virtually no time/effort to use and can make the difference between your going to the next phase or not.
· If you want to pivot into a different area/industry, go get the experience, volunteer, whatever it takes to gain the experience in that area/industry so you can talk with confidence and knowledge about why you have what is needed for the new role.
Nathan brings such insight, realism, and passion to the job search process. Make sure you not only listen to the episode but also share it with a friend. Nathan has offered to help any of my listeners in their job search, so feel free to reach out to him on LinkedIn.
