Helping Sales & PreSales job seekers land jobs quickly and advance in their careers â—† Co-Founder of Better Career â—† Former Sr. Director in Tech + Co-Founder of PreSales Collective
Before we get into it... CONGRATS to one of our readers who landed a job this past week!????????We're two editions into this newsletter and people are already getting jobs! That's what it's all about!
There's no sugarcoating it - 2023 has been rough for job seekers. With nearly 350K+ tech workers laid off and not nearly enough companies hiring,?we're in a hyper-competitive job market.
Many job postings receive more than 1,000 applications within a day of being posted.
Even if you have the best resume, it may never be seen by a human.
Fortunately, there are jobs out there and?many people are getting interviews. We’ve even had success with getting career changers into?their first Tech job?(some of them raising their income $50K more than their previous role).

Today, I walk you through an approach that I’ve had a lot of success with...
In this edition, I cover:
- Who you should reach out to and why
- Finding the right people (key contacts)
- How to reach out and get an interview
