How to get hired at any company you want? Here are 6 Steps.

1.  Align with the mission

-Companies want missionaries - people who are all in. Approach your job hunt through the lens of what mission you want to dedicate yourself to. Go deep in interviews about:

→ What resonates with the company's mission

→ What you want to accomplish

2. Master the art of outreach

Employers get too many applications to find any gems. Employees have to apply to so many roles that they do a halfway job. Instead, find the email of the hiring manager. Send them a thoughtful note about your fit with the role.

3. Build an online presence

This is a cheat code. If you can prove expertise through your content, it takes away at least 1 interview from the process. And it gets you well beyond screening. Share content on:

→ Learnings

→ Mistakes

→ New ideas 

Watch your opportunities grow.

4. Differentiate your resume

Managers get very little from resumes. You have to get in the door creatively. Instead of a PDF resume:

→ Create a website showing your accomplishments

→ Share a list of relevant projects you've work on

→ Film a video resume

These stand out.

5. Prepare like the top 1%

Each interview is a chance to show why you're the perfect fit. But are you preparing like it?

→ Write out all your questions in advance

→ Write out (and answer) questions you think you'll be asked

→ Prepare ideas and solutions instead of problems

6. Follow up with persistence

Managers aren't perfect, and things may slip through the cracks. Build systems to remind yourself to follow up with:

→ Next steps

→ Docs you need to send over

→ Ideas you can share outside of calls

Showcase those communication skills.

Hope you get the job that you want.
