Land The Job You Want Using the 'Rule of 5'
This guy provides the 'Rule of 5' for you to apply to get the job offers that let you actually choose the job you want.
Austin Belcak runs a million-strong network called 'Cultivated Culture' and provides advice on landing the job you really want (as distinct from the one you have presently).
And the 'Rule of 5' - it goes like this
See a role you want to target?
Use a minimum of 5 channels to get in the door.
For example:
1. Apply for the job
2. Email 15+ current employees
3. Find and engage with employees who are active on social
4. Engage with the company’s posts on LI
5. Message recruiters in the space who might be keyed into openings
When you rely on a single channel, you limit your chances.
Multiple channels = more opportunities to win.
That's it. Sounds simple. Is simple.
