Lesson 01

Crucial tips to accelerate your job search

Believe it or not but there are way more possibilities to find your next (dream) job, then just browsing your usual 2 job boards. The easiest way is to extend your search by simply visiting more job boards and knowing them all. 👁️ Some of them are very niche. 👉 We have put a list together so you don't have to search! There is also an immense power in Social Media & Communities when it comes to jobs - check out our list again to see some examples!

🤝 And then there's Networking. Leverage your connections and the power of word of mouth - you can literally skip the waiting line and be invited to the interview right away when you have good connections. ✏️ You can also start reaching out proactively to companies you would like to work for! And if you really hone in, establish yourself as a brand or expert we guarantee you that opportunities will roll in themselves. Read the full list of tips and resources below and you'll be ahead of everyone else. 🚀

Lesson 02

Stay organized

You'll be much more successful with your job search if you start being more organized. You should create a job search spreadsheet to track applications, interviews, networking contacts, and follow-ups with reminders. ✏️ 📆 Sounds easy and logical but from experience that's not what designers like to do, but it is super important to keep track of your efforts and follow up when needed! 

Needless to say and remind you that your job search should follow your SMART 💡goals and go in hand with your career vision - but you already heard that many times from us :) 🚨 Well, here's the thing! We are sharing our Job Tracker template for free with you. 👉It's built in Notion and has everything you need to keep your search on track. Just clone and use it!
