A corporate job is not the only way to make money.

A few tips to navigate the tough job market:

1. Stop looking for corporate jobs (for now)

Look for jobs with low barrier to entry:
↳ Retail, warehouse, coffee shop etc.

You can’t think straight in survival mode.
Some form of income for financial stability is key.

2. Slide into people’s DMs (50 a week)

LinkedIn search the job title you are looking for.
↳ Filter by people → 1st & 2nd connection.

Reach out for virtual coffee chats for insights
To support with your job search & referral opportunities.

3. Network directly with employers (virtual & in-person)

A lot of inclusive employers facilitate insight events.
To support candidates & showcase job opportunities.
A way to network with hiring managers & recruiters.

To get you started on point 3, sign up for an employer networking event happening tomorrow after work.

You can expect: 

• Inspiring talk from a guest speaker: Ashley John-Baptiste

• ↳Award-winning journalist, writer, and presenter

• Network with different industry professionals

• Get in front of hiring/recruitment teams

• Food & drinks available 

Most importantly get some pics to post about on LinkedIn.

PS: I’d still pull up even if you have a job. Gotta stay breakup-ready 😌
