CAREER DIGEST & GETTING DISCOVERED SERIES

CAREER DIGEST & GETTING DISCOVERED SERIES

Welcome to the CAREER DIGEST newsletter, where we discuss Hiring & Professional Development Insights for Employees. My name is Oscar Chow, and I’m the Founder & General Manager of ZERO1, a minority-owned recruiting agency. For over a decade, we have hired and developed hundreds of people across various roles and industries. In this newsletter, my goal is to share insights that will make you more successful in your professional career.

FIRST TOPIC OVERVIEW

To kick off this newsletter, I’m going to curate a 6 part series titled, GETTING DISCOVERED. Why? Many people are struggling to find new job opportunities, while others have their inboxes overflowing with messages from recruiters. What is the former doing wrong and the latter doing right?

I've identified consistent themes that allow candidates to get found by recruiters & hiring managers and have job opportunities come to them. During this GETTING DISCOVERED series, I'm going to share my learnings with you across the following topics:

  1. First Impressions Matter
  2. Keyword Importance
  3. Keyword Placement
  4. Expand Your Connections?
  5. Increase Your Accessibility
  6. Build Relationships

Most candidates (over 90%) I encounter could benefit if they implemented these best practices. For example, last year, I spoke with a candidate who struggled to find a job for months. I shared the same advice with him that I will share with you, and to his credit, he implemented all of it. Less than a month later, he messaged me and said he received two job offers!

LOOKING AHEAD

In later editions of this CAREER DIGEST newsletter, I will discuss topics across LinkedIn best practices, resume structure, interview tips, professional development, career advice, and more. If you see long-term value in any of these topics, I invite you to like, comment, and subscribe!
