So you're going to be looking at these companies, looking at these people, make sure that your LinkedIn will tell me you are currently employed elsewhere. So if you were to update your LinkedIn and be like, pretty transparent about the pivot you want to make that that's not okay right now. Yeah.
All right. You could always message people privately for everybody else watching, listening, who maybe are unemployed, or as I like to say, fun employed. And it's not a problem to be explicit about where you want to go next. You're going to want to put in your headline. the job title that you're looking for. And you can even just say, looking to, you know, applying to these kinds of jobs.
And in your about, you know, you'll be very clear about it. Because when you start to follow and comment on other people's LinkedIns, they will inevitably look at yours. And I want it to be representative of where you're at and what your goals are. In your case, okay, not so much. But you will at least see who you have connections to.
So talk to me about your network and how you're currently leveraging or not.
Yeah, no, and it is.
By the way, it will, I think, always be demoralizing. I think the goal should be, though, how can we recover from the rejection faster? So if right now the rejection, I don't know, it hurts for like five days or five hours, let's make it five minutes. And how do we do that? That's therapy work. Okay. So that's also a different coaching session.
But one thing I will invite you and everybody listening who is dealing with rejection from others, it is a signal to us that we need to develop a sense of self and a self-worth that is protected from whatever somebody else says to us. It's almost impossible to do that. We're wired to be social. We're literally wired to... do the best we can to not be rejected by others.
So don't fight this too much. Again, it's like kind of accepting that, yeah, I'm gonna feel bummed for a little bit and not piling on to it, right? Not now getting mad at yourself that you're feeling rejected. It's like, yeah, every time I get rejected, I'm gonna feel like crap for a little bit of time. I'm gonna do something nice for myself or whatever, but maybe just see it as a reminder of,
This is you building, again, this like deeper sense of self that no matter what happens outside of you, you are still okay on the inside. And if you can kind of master that, again, very difficult, ever-changing, but it is probably the number one skillset you could develop that will safeguard you against any of the chaos in this world.
Because so much of it is other people's stuff or things that we can't even, I mean, quite frankly, we just can't control. And it's so difficult. So you are right now in an experience that is challenging you to address this number one skill set. So again, you're never going to truly master it because we're sort of not wired to.
But if you can minimize the suffering in some way, take the edge off in some way. That would be a great goal. And as you witness yourself doing that, make sure that you celebrate it. But to get back into leveraging, you're going to now amass this much larger spreadsheet. This ultimately is a numbers game.
However, I don't want you wasting your time applying to places where the fit isn't right, which you've mentioned you're not doing. I really think if you go, I'm going to recap the stuff we've talked about. Sounds like you're doing all of them-ish, but I want to turn up the volume on it.
Talk to real people who have the job that you want or something similar about what is extremely difficult in their job and the skills that they've needed to get through it. Use that to reflect on how have I done that? Tell that story with specifics and as best as you can metrics, okay? How did all of this impact the business or another team that impacted the business?
Or how did this relate to the company's goals? Like always, always take that next step. Any of the feedback you're getting from hiring managers, if it's been specific at all, I think some of it has, you're missing this, you're missing this, missing this. I would say maybe proactively address it. with specific examples of learning curve, right?
So next thing is demonstrating that the learning curve is minimal and here's how you've learned in the past and learned quickly. Then really emphasizing your why, but connecting it to why that matters to the company, okay? And then really dive into, again, problems that you've solved that are absolutely related to this company. You've seen it in a different way.
So you are familiar with this product or this experience, but just from the other side. And then you'll end with, and here's why an outside perspective is an asset with an example of how you've done this before. The last thing I want to mention is Just bridge opportunities, right? And I'm sure you've thought of this, but I want to just mention it. You know, some of these companies...
Do we need to have some experience in the interim in order to get them to say yes? And if so, can we get specific about what it is that they need to see from you that you, I guess, don't have? And how can you, as best you can, generate that experience for yourself, right? If we keep waiting for somebody else to say yes to us, we're going to be waiting a really long time.
So maybe you could kind of spitball with me for a second here. Has there been anybody who's given you feedback and made you think, okay, where else can I look, or how else can I think about giving myself this, whatever it is that they're looking for, so that when I do apply, I'll have something to say.
Yes, thousand percent. I love that you're already thinking about this. Yeah, I think any kind of startup or nonprofit that you could participate in. I mean, even things like if there's a focus group, you know, for any of these startups who are looking to connect with nurses, whatever, like something where you're able to
Not just get the experience that they're looking for, because chances are it's not going to totally be what they're looking for, of course. But it's demonstrating that you're putting in the work. To my earlier point of when you talk to a bunch of people about what's difficult in their job and the relevant and critical skills that they need, that makes your story stronger.
