If I were graduating college today, here’s exactly how I’d land my first job..
[without applying to 100+ postings.]

1. Find 10–15 people doing what you want to do.

2. Ask friends or family for intros, or shoot your shot and DM them directly.

3. Show up prepared with 3 solid questions:
 ➜ How did you get started?
 ➜ What advice do you have for me?
➜ What would you do differently if you were starting today?

Here’s the thing most grads don’t realize:
➜ People 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 talking about themselves.
➜ They 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳 what it felt like to be new.
➜ They 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 to help.

You’re not asking for a job. You’re building relationships.

And nearly everyone I’ve worked with who did this?
➜ Got intros.
➜ Found mentors.
➜ Landed a job they were excited about.

Give it a shot.

Then come back and tell me how it went.
