They say the December-January period is crap for getting a job. Well, do we have news for you!
14 people from our community found a new gig and lost their green rings at the end of last year!
Congratulations to David King, Tony Cadelina, Pablo Silva, Manpreet Kaur, Cherry Morales, Smitha Gowri, Alex Henry, Andrew Jambrich, Chad Hastings, Chirapthi Banduwardena, Mark Urban, Friedrich Woerlein, Rick Amoore, Anton Dworzak.
And one more announcement coming very soon.
All of their stories before job search were different. All of their stories after will be different too.
But their job search stories? Remarkably similar.
They thought it would be easy at first - just like last time. Apply for jobs. Talk to recruiters. Tap their networks. Easy.
But, like many, they found it wasn't that simple.
Applications went unnoticed. Recruiters didn't return calls. Network contacts didn't get back to them. Feedback was generic or non-existent. They were ghosted.
And then they found Talentology.
They joined a community.
They met others who understood them.
They learned what the job search game actually takes to be successful.
They felt supported. They felt understood. They felt respected and empowered.
They found purpose and direction.
And then they found success.
From the outside, it might've looked like luck.
It wasn't.
These people:
• Showed up to our free community events
• Took the coaching seriously
• Grabbed their bull by the horns
• Increased their activity when others slowed down
• Drove their visibility up when others hid
• Hustled when others waited
• Had the courage to stand out
They became MORE than an ATS-pleasing resume.
MORE than a green "out of work" ring.
MORE than a candidate who took "no feedback" for an answer.
Was it easy?
Hell no.
Did they make their own luck?
Absolutely.
