Networking Hacks - Job Hunting Tips

Networking Hacks - Job Hunting Tips

Welcome to Fintech Chatter Newsletter Friday 10th Feb 2023!

This week I want to start by expressing my heartfelt sadness to the team at OpenPay. Sadly the business went into receivership last Friday despite impressive quarterly results.

It is really tough out there and the BNPL sector has been hit with a 'perfect storm' of conditions to go against them.

For those at OpenPay be proud of what you built and don't let the naysayers take away from your commitment, resilience and effort in turning the business around these past months.


On the Job Hunt? My Networking Hacks.


I've been inundated with people looking for work. Job hunting is tough in any market but right now it's made even more difficult because of lay offs and the economic outlook.

This difficulty is compounded by the way you have been conditioned to look for a job. The facts are that in this kind of market Job Boards and Recruiters are the most inneffective ways to find a new role.

You need to take control of the job search and an effective networking strategy can 10x your job hunt.

In this video I share some tips on:

  • How to identify the best people in your network
  • Create opportunities instead of chase them
  • Get a meeting with even the busiest people
  • And the compounding effects of networks

I applied these principles when I launched Tier One People 7 years ago and very quickly won clients.

Next week I'll be sharing how to turn your networking into actual job opportunities so make sure to subscribe to our Youtube channel.
