Bruh finding a job is like trying to sell your mix tape

As a recruiter I can confirm this is great advice
-
As a recruiter I can provide one piece of advice for LinkedIn candidates: PLEASE include your resume and contact information as soon as you respond to a message. This immediately sets you apart from other people who want to have protracted conversations before including their resume.

This video got me to my final round interview for a software engineering position at Shutterstock. I'm getting so much value from your videos Jeff! All that's left is a team culture interview with the team (45 mins), and an executive chat with the senior director of engineering (30 mins). How do you recommend I prepare for these?

One of the best videos I have watched this year on recruiting. Thanks Jeff.

Glad that YouTube algorithm brought me to your channel. It’s so incredibly informative and it pushed me to work on improving on several areas in my next job search process. Many thanks for such amazing content. I watched 2 videos and feel like binge watching few more. Needless to say that you got a new subscriber and admirer.

The tips in this video and your editing style are AMAZING! I totally agree with the idea of being upfront about why you're reaching out. If you want to be connected with someone on that team - it's best to be upfront about it! Thanks Jeff :)

WOW!!, this is GOLD!!, quite helpful for me at this point in my career. Thanks for posting these videos. While it confirms a lot of things I assumed, the best are the illustrative bits that take a bit of the anxiety of connecting with "strangers" away.

I'm currently 3+ months into the rough of a job search and haven't gotten anywhere past the initial phone screening with a small handful of companies...I typically try to reach out to EVERY company I apply to, but watching this video made me realize my outreach has been a bit too aggressive/quick. I'll try to use these tips and hopefully they get me somewhere, thanks for the video Jeff!
