Job Hunter's Sidekick: Finally take control of your job hunt
Meet Tim.
He's an engineer who just applied for another job. Tragic.
He sees that there must be a better way than taking 1 hour to tailor his cover letter and resume to a job application, even though he knows he's good at it.
Every time he applies, he doesn't really know why he's applying. He knows he needs the money, but can't help that the job hunting process itself drains him so much that even getting the job feels too much work.
He's alone and hates the feeling of not being in control of his situation.
Is that you?
If you are like Tim, you know the struggle.
But, how do you actually take control of your job hunt if there are so many factors that decide whether you even score the job?
Announcing: The Job Hunting Sidekick
When you don't feel in control, all types of things happen.
You procrastinate.
You eat more food.
You watch Youtube to excuse not applying.
With Job Hunter's Sidekick, all of that changes. You get your control back.
How it works
Inside, you get access to a Google Sheet that is filled with tools to get you moving, imperfectly.
First, you calculate your Minimum Viable Income.
As a wise man once said, you need to "calculate your expense." If you don't know how much exactly how much you'll need to survive, you may take a job that leaves you broke simply because of the commute. The Minimum Viable Income calculator gives you 3 levels of comfort with your money after you put in all your expenses, giving you a way to negotiate with employers (and yourself) how much you are worth and what is acceptable for you to live decently, based on your circumstances.
Next, you get 1% Better.
As you start to do tasks to job hunt more efficiently, you will notice a trend:
You get distracted.
You keep watching Netflix to pass the time
You leave the screen inactive for 30 mins and are forced to start over your application.
This shouldn't happen. Don't be like Tim.
Using the 1% Better Tab, you can track how much money you'll save for each task you choose to do that optimizes your performance.
Examples:
Moved that dog bowl to a more efficient place? Saved 3 min/day @ $30/hr. That's $15/month.
Find a tool that stops you from starring at that job description? Saved 30 mins/day @ $30/hr. That's $450/month.
Over time, you'll see how your efficiency is paying you back as you look for a job to cover future expenses.
Finally, you use the ROI Calculator.
Working with people is hard. Gaming the job hunt by networking feels inexplicable.
Don't fight the science. Work with it.
The ROI Calculator allows you to predict, using the best empirical & scientific knowledge, approximately how long it will take you to get a response from a complete stranger and how long that should take to get you a job.
If you contact 2 people on LinkedIn each day, how long does it take before you get a reply that leads to an interview?
If you join groups on Facebook to look for opportunities? Plan how many people you need to ask before an opportunity presents itself to you.
When you put all these Calculator to use, you are able to sell yourself high, job hunt efficiently and strike your networking blows wisely to get a job faster (and with confidence). Best of all, the science backs it up.
Who this is not for:
People who don't like tech.
People who hate converting metrics into new ideas
People who hate being awesome
Who am I?
