Daniel Space posted thisThere’s a lively debate going on because a career coach claimed that using an email scoop tool and sending an email directly (or at least hoping to as it’s not published) to the manager and recruiter is an "amazing secret recruiting tactic" -curiously the largest population of those in agreement are....other career coaches. Anyone who was working in hiring in 2020 probably remembers when these first came out. Hiring managers were posting on LinkedIn that they were getting thousands of emails about roles most of which weren’t there’s? Recruiters were posting about going to IT to create auto spam folders? Recruiters were posting that doing this was circumventing the process as other candidates weren’t or didnt have this access and it wasnt right? Those that sent these emails sounded canned like they had just used a template? That hasn’t changed- 18 months ago we put together a survey of about 1k hiring managers and recruiters from various industries and locations and this was received with a resounding no. (~80% indicating it ACTIVELY worked against candidates) While everyone always claims they have anecdotal evidence on it’s "how they got their job," and inexperienced career coaches claim "hundreds of their clients did this"- there seems to be zero evidence from the actual decision makers and it comes with heavy risk. Do this at your own risk! If someone is not being honest with you about the risk involved to a tactic- consider all of their advice suspect

Daniel Space posted thisA few people wanted more clarification on what I meant regarding Linkedin and its reward mechanics. Linkedin is basically 3 dogs, a social media site in a data collection trenchcoat pretending to be a job board - as such it follows all the rules regarding engagement, addiction and reward. Linkedin LOVES job seekers, not only do you engage the most on the site (paid advertising) you have the highest chance of engaging with their paid tools (premium and Linkedin learning) and Linkedin can use YOU to charge more on recruiter licenses to companies. It will be as symbiotic as possible though and reward your engagement with 3 tangible benefits: 1- It will serve you roles outside of your industry and location (provided you applied to roles out of them) 2- If will give you early access to roles youve marked as "job alerts" if you have the active job seeker status and most importantly: Linkedin WILL prioritize your profile to recruiters in passive search because you have a higher chance of responding to cold outreach than someone who is not in active search

Daniel Space posted thisAs a follow up to yesterdays post - here are more recruiting tips that actually lead to progress and offers. These primarily focus on LinkedIn - since 2018 they have become the undisputed leader in job search because of one thing: Passive Discovery. You dont want to apply to 10 good roles with a resume, you want 10,000 recruiters potentially looking for you. Here are the top 5 tips that significantly increase how your LinkedIn performs and while people that follow me or work with me often say their resume was much better, its almost unanimous when they say what they learned about LinkedIn was game changing: A. A Good Linkedin with a bad resume is 10x better than the reverse. With Resumes you are only applying to roles you are pysically applying to, with a good Linkedin you could be considered for tens of thousands of roles based on your profile B. Your profile performance is based on 5 elements: Your banner photo, your photo, headline (MOST IMPORTANT), About Me and Experience C. The most important part of passive discovery is your network, the more people you are connected to that would help your job search, the better your profile does in passive search D. Linkedin has a series of reward mechanics where it will prioritize profiles of active job seekers, ensure you spend a lot of time on your job search in Linkedin to get those rewards E. CURATE YOUR NEWSFEED! Linkedin serves you content that you have engaged with before, even if you dont like it. If you constantly respond to "Dear Recruiters" ragebait, Linkedin will just give you more - which will not help your job search, instead find open roles and engage (like, comment, share) and Linkedin will do that instead #linkedin #linkedintips

Daniel Space posted thisIt is depressing to see so many people either recently laid off or struggling so much with the current job market, a lot of my clients and followers are reporting good news, even offers - here is the 10 big learnings Im taking: - You resume HAS to stand out, too many people are submitting a copy/paste ChatGPT version, and here are 5 elements that do really well: A. Use optimal reading elements, lots of natural space, clearly marked sections, easy to find personal infirmation B. Use an ANCHOR a small one sentence description under the title that describes the company if its not a household or famous brand name. C. Anyone who says you shouldnt use the term "Responsible" is lying - the first bullet (I call it the prime bullet) can and should use this word to provide immediate context to your scope, impact and responsibilities D. Your bullets should be alternated between order of importance and mix up the "why/how/impact formula" E. Always find ways to add data to your bullets, if your role doesnt provide impact bullets, even contextual bullets are helpful. More important than a resume is your Linkedin - Ill make the next points as a response to this

Daniel Space shared thisEpic Games announced a 1000 person layoff today For those impacted, I’m sorry. I went through it in 2023, and I know how quickly something like that can upend your sense of stability, especially if it was done with the same dishonesty, confusion and lack of humanity. I still have resources I created back then, resumes, job search guidance, navigating the aftermath. If they’re useful, feel free to reach out. I began writing CEO Tim a letter as a journal exercise that I decided to eventually publish months after it happened. Re-reading this letter I wrote after my own layoff is uncomfortable in a different way now. Not because of how it was written, but because of how much of it still holds and how similar it all feels. At some point its no longer "a tough moment" - its an intentional pattern. And its one that shows how much silly decisions made by executives translate into real life loss for those that work for them and why that gap still exists. --Dear Tim, I wrote this ~3 years ago - I wish I had been wrong.Dear Tim, I wrote this ~3 years ago - I wish I had been wrong.

Daniel Space reposted thisDaniel Space reposted thisNowruz Mobarak! 🪻 The Persian new year begins at the exact moment spring does, which means nature has been keeping better time than the rest of us for 3,000 years. What's on this table is called a haft-sin, seven items, each starting with the letter "s" in Persian, each carrying something forward into the new year: 🌱 Sabzeh - sprouts aka Rebirth 🍎 Seeb - apple aka Beauty & Health 🧄 Seer - garlic. (Yes, garlic. For medicine and protection, Iranians are practical) ☀️ Somāq - sumac, The color of sunrise 🍯 Samanu - sweet wheat pudding aka Abundance 🫙 Serkeh - vinegar aka Age & patience. The unglamorous one we all need 🌿 Senjed - dried oleaster fruit aka Love Nowruz has Zoroastrian roots, one of the oldest religions in the world, predating both Christianity and Islam. This tradition has survived every empire, every upheaval, and it shows up every spring without fail. That's the thing about spring. It doesn't ask permission. نوروز مبارک to everyone celebrating across Iran, across the diaspora, and honestly, to anyone who needed a reminder that the earth tilts back toward the light eventually. It always does.

Daniel Space shared thisI was contacted 5 weeks ago by someone who had just dropped almost $1500 for a resume, linkedin and interview prep by a "career coach" who spent zero years working in HR. For a little more than half of what they paid, I redid it all and they received two offers this week, they are taking the weekend to finalize - and yes I included a compensation review and template. Neither of these are the actual resume but its not that far off from what I received to what I did: - Psychological Considerations to how we interpret information (E/F format), ATS R-O style, bolded sections, empty spaces, anchors, - Bullets using mixed variations of what/how/impact with highest value first - Deprioritized real estate vampires like skills section - Cleaned up formatting - Included company anchors - Created context bullets - Kept things neat and easy to flow Linkedin: - Adding a bunch of strangers and asking for a referral is not networking - I optimized their landing page, especially their headline - Taught them to build a very fast investment network - Activated the reward mechanics for Linkedin to view you as a job seeker -It was through passive discovery that 4 opportunities came Interview: - We did one interview role play, but I prepared interview notes after an analysis of the role, company, profile and personalities of those doing the interviewing Compensation: - Prepared optimal response using business case, HR language and soft negotiation tactics to eliminate risk of an offer pull These are peoples lives at stake - if you dont have a solid and completely concrete and confident vantage point into how companies hire, you may want to rethink being a career coach. (None of the information in either resume is real)
