3 stupid simple steps to bag your next J*B

I bagged roles in:

  • Fintech

  • Consulting

  • Private Equity

  • Asset Management

All for well-known employers! Here’s how…

  1. Getting involved in extracurriculars, e.g.…

  • Starting a blog

  • About financial markets

  • To improve my commercial awareness

This helped me stand out with…

  • Applications sent

  • Interviews attended

  • An online presence via LinkedIn

Which was critical to being ahead of the competition.

  1. Extensive due diligence on…

  • The industry

  • The company

  • The interviewer

Which showed in…

  • Applications

  • Interview processes

  • Even starting the role

Making me come across as an above-average candidate.

  1. Proactively networking with…

  • Recruiters

  • Hiring managers

  • Industry professionals

Asking for help on…

  • Application support

  • Interview prep

  • Standing out

Relying on advice from people who have insider information is probably the biggest cheat code.

With that being said, we are hosting an application support session tonight with Alexandra Aileru, an expert career coach.

To make sure you are putting your best foot forward in the application process to secure the bag.

You are welcome (:

So my LinkedIn account has been restricted…again! But this time I haven’t been banned. My engagement is just non-existent, i.e. I’m getting 1 like per post because my content is not being pushed for whatever reason. Doesn’t really make sense for an account with 25k+ followers, so a contact at LinkedIn is looking into it for me. But the show must go on in the meantime, and I need help from you Beyond in the form of likes, reposts and comments on my posts for the week. This is how I am able to get the attention of employers to provide more opportunities for the community, so your engagement means A LOT…no pressure (:

Founder Updates: #cheekynandos

Nothing much to report tbh, just been getting on with work. My meal prep lady has decided to go to Nigeria for a month, so I’m paying an arm and a leg for Nando’s every day because all these online meal prep services are trash. The thing is Nando’s ain’t even cheeky anymore, it’s just daylight robbery! So if you have any meal prep ladies or suggestions, that would be much appreciated (:

Thanks for making till the end {{ first name | Gang }} 🫡
