I would map out a plan of 10 different companies that are my target goal companies.

And I don't care if you think it's a stretch.

That's not up for you to determine.

You just map out what you would love to have happen, right?

Do your homework and research on each one of those.

Write them down on your target list.

Put it somewhere you're going to see it every single day and start mapping out who are the hiring managers.

Start reaching out to them.

Send them DMs.

Start reaching out to the HR department.

Start, you know, looking in your circles, who's connected to one of those people in your circle that can introduce you to those people.

Start opening the doors that you need and want to open, right?

Don't wait for someone to call you.

Update your resume.

That's really important.

And one of the things that I would do, and I appreciate when people do this for me, is when they customize the resume for the job that I have open.

Go the extra mile.

Do the work.

So few people want to actually do the work that if you take the time to research the company, write a really thorough and thoughtful cover letter.

I went in to work with a huge company two weeks ago, I believe it was.
