ITS ONLY BEEN 1 WEEK

1 week since I quit. 11 weeks of sevvy left.


Observations:

1. I'm bored out of my mind.

2. I've actually done alot around the house. I'm enjoying the stress free lifestyle.

3. Finding a new job sucks.


What are you guys using these days To find a job? Bravado has matched me once ever. LinkedIn sucks. Repvue is nice. Corp bro has a spreadsheet. What am I missing?

I didnโ€™t get a job through online searching when I got laid off. It was through my own relationships.

Check with your former colleagues, people you know in the industry, go get coffee with friends and family.

Itโ€™s about who you know.

Itโ€™s tough out there but you are lucky to get three months sevy. I was with a large tech company who did a RIF back in January and only got one month.

Like others said relationships are important as well as not being scarred to slide into VPs and Managers at companies. Iโ€™ve got most of my interviews this way and not through blindly applying

Just keep getting the word out there. Iโ€™ve gotten all of jobs (except the very first one) by getting recommended by a colleague or a friend, enough so to get the interview.

Reach out to everyone and anyone youโ€™ve worked with, studied withโ€ฆ you never know :)

Good luck !๐Ÿ€๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป

Reach out directly to the sales leaders if you see an open job req somewhere. I was able to speed up cycles and quickly learn if I wanted to work with someone or not

All what needs to be taken was done, so wait till it comes and I do wish it'll come pretty fast.
Best of luck with your search โœŒ๏ธ

You got the biggies.

With 12 weeks, Iโ€™d be reaching out to the companies I specifically would like to work for. The ones you reach out to NOW might actually have something for you within that 12 week window.
