I'm done the interviews. I submitted my shortlist and I have eight incredible candidates. This person emailed me an hour before my shortlist meeting with the client. And the shortlist meeting is very intense because they're asking you a ton of questions about the people that you've interviewed and you need to be on. You need to be really good.

So an hour before I looked at my email and this person emailed me. She said, I know that you are probably finished the search and you've probably talked to your client. And so I don't want to interrupt your process. And she was thinking of me when she was emailing, but I would really, this job speaks to me. And if they don't find the person in this go around, I would love to be considered.

She didn't demand anything. She didn't call and leave a message on my machine. She just said this. And I said, can you talk right now? And I talked to her for 15 minutes. She took the risk. She just put herself out there. And I said, I'm going to put you forward. I haven't even interviewed you. I don't even know you. But I get such a great sense from you.

I'm going to put you on the list and tell them about my conversation and that I think that they should consider meeting you. And they are. She's going to get an interview, even though it was really shut down. So it's putting yourself out there and going after. So if you see him, you wouldn't believe how many times I say to people that are looking for jobs, I'll say. I've been here my entire life.

I have not left the east coast of Canada. And so my network is very deep and broad. And I will say to people, look, before you apply for a job, contact me. And just in case I know somebody there, because I can make a warm introduction. And very few people take me up on that. And I'm always interested. Because they know me, they know I'm genuinely meaning this. Very few people do.

And I'm always curious as to why, because I'm happy to help them. So if you're going to apply for a job, go into LinkedIn, see who you know that's connected to anybody in the company and go that route first. Find out, do research. Don't just apply for the job. Do your research first and get in and find somebody who knows somebody. Then work your way back from there.

The most important thing though is to be genuine, Whether you're writing a cover letter or interviewing, it's like any relationship. If I'm genuine and I'm telling you what I'm great at, what I love to do, what I'm not so great at.

And what I don't really like to do, and I'm telling you the honest truth, and the client is telling you the honest truth about their culture and how you can help them, and you're both telling each other, you're both being genuine, then you're going to develop a relationship based on honesty, just like any other relationship, any other human relationship.

It'll be genuine and honest, and it'll work. If you pretend that you know how to do something that you don't, if you are not genuine and honest...

like any relationship it's going to be rocky right and so i think it's that and networking i can't stress it enough the ai is out there but it's not a person and people will help you and you just need to expand the network and have fun doing it and make it part of your daily weekly routine. And you learn so much by having these conversations. But you know what?
