Most people send 50-100 applications before landing a role. The professionals who
land in 2-3 weeks do something completely different.
They don’t spend another weekend reformatting their resume. They don’t refresh LinkedIn
waiting for something to appear. They don’t spray applications and hope for the best.
They put their existing network to work, specifically, strategically, and with the right
message.
Here’s what that looks like: They reach out to people who have already seen their work
firsthand. They don’t ask for a job, they ask for a conversation. They make it easy to say
yes and even easier to refer.
Most of us have a network full of people who could open doors: former colleagues,
managers, clients, collaborators. We just haven’t contacted them. Because we don’t know
what to say. Because time has passed. Because it feels awkward.
There’s a system for this. It takes 7 days. Under 10 minutes each day.
I put together a free 7-day email challenge that walks through exactly how to do this, one
action per day, every template included.
