Show workings ๐ค
Founders and developers love nothing more than implementation and action.
So while hunting for a job, saying what you can offer to a project does not cut it most times.
You have to actually show and tell them "๐๐ค๐ฌ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ค๐จ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐จ".
โBe ๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐๐๐ฅ and not ๐ญ๐ก๐๐จ๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ข๐๐๐ฅ
Applying the "๐ฐ๐ก๐๐ญ" and "๐ก๐จ๐ฐ" effectively can significantly enhance your chances of landing your desired job.
๐๐ค๐ง ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐ฉ๐๐ญ๐ฉ โ
โฏ ๐๐๐ผ๐ is what value you can offer
โฏ ๐๐ค๐ฌ is how you plan to offer that value
โ๐๐: Must be practical
So here's a scenario โ
You're applying for a marketing strategist position to a web3 project
โ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฌ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง:
โ๐๐๐ผ๐:
I have a proven track record of increasing user engagement and acquisition through targeted digital marketing strategies.
In my previous role at (A formal project), I led a campaign that increased user engagement by 40% in six months.
You can bluff if you don't have proof
Read this thread if you don't know how what bluffing is...
โ ๐๐ค๐ฌ:
I plan to achieve similar results for your project by implementing a tailored content calender and marketing strategy that includes social media campaigns, influencer partnerships, and content marketing.
By leveraging data analytics, I will continuously optimize these strategies to ensure maximum impact.
โ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐ฉ๐จ๐ข๐ง๐ญ
You can also create a detailed Action Plan
By this I mean a Step-by-Step Plan:
(Using the earlier example above it can go like this)
โฏ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ข๐ญ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ง๐๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ข๐ฌ:
Conduct a thorough audit of the current marketing efforts to identify gaps and opportunities.
โฏ ๐๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ญ๐๐ ๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฏ๐๐ฅ๐จ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ:
Create a comprehensive marketing plan tailored to the projects target audience, focusing on the most effective apps.
โฏ ๐๐ฑ๐๐๐ฎ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง:
Launch targeted campaigns with clear KPIs and timelines.
โฏ ๐๐ฉ๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐ข๐ณ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง:
Use data-driven insights to refine and improve the campaigns continuously.
โ๐๐ง๐จ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ซ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ข๐ ๐๐ฑ๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐:
I noticed your Twitter engagement could be higher.
I would propose a weekly Twitter Space hosted by industry influencers to discuss the latest trends in Web3, which can drive more traffic to your platform and increase user engagement.
By clearly defining "๐ฐ๐ก๐๐ญ" you can offer and "๐ก๐จ๐ฐ" you plan to achieve it, you not only demonstrate your capabilities but also show your proactive and practical approach in alignment with the company's goals.
So that's it for today....
I hope you learnt a thing or two.
If you did you're destined for greatness

Well well, you can but you definitely can't if you don't know how to analyze your opponent ( which in this scenario is the project you're looking to get a job from).
Read to end so you understand how to get jobs even with 0 experience.
Yesterday I posted about my student who has gotten two jobs in the space of two weeks of being in this space and you wonder if there's anything he did differently.
The same yesterday someone else called lamenting how they've been hunting for months and haven't gotten a gig yet.
Now the difference between the two is chess.
Job hunting is no different from playing Chess.

๐๐ฅ๐๐ง๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ก๐๐๐:
Just as a chess player thinks several moves ahead, you as a job hunter needs to plan your actions, from crafting resumes to preparing for interviews and following up with potential project you're looking to work for.
๐๐จ๐ฌ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ :
In chess, positioning your pieces well can determine the game's outcome.
Similarly, positioning yourself through networking, personal branding, and highlighting relevant skills can significantly impact your job hunt success.
๐๐๐๐ฉ๐ญ๐๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ:
Both chess and job hunting require adaptability.
In chess, you must adjust your strategy based on your opponentโs moves.
In job hunting, you need to adapt to the evolving job market trends, company requirements, and feedback from interviews.
๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐๐ง๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ฌ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ง๐๐:
Chess games and job searches can both be lengthy and require patience.
Persistence in job applications and interviews mirrors the endurance needed to play a long chess match.
๐๐ง๐๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ณ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐จ๐ง๐๐ง๐ญ:
In chess, understanding your opponentโs strategy is crucial. In job hunting, researching potential employers, understanding their needs, and tailoring your application accordingly is equally important.
But wait there's one more...

Bluffing is an art cause not everyone understands the concept of Bluffing.
Bluffing isn't about lying and saying things You can't do, it's about strategically structuring what you can offer to gain advantage and convince the team.

Harvey said "In playing poker, you play the Man".
It's the same with Bluffing, You're playing the interviewer.
You do this by researching about the project, their pain points and the team and look for weaknesses to exploit and problems to solve.
"When you're a problem solver, everyone wants you on thier team".

Bluffing can sometimes help you get noticed and secure an interview, especially in a competitive field like crypto where roles are highly coveted.
But remember to always deliver on your Bluff, don't lie and say things you know you can't do.
