I’ve been hiring a social media manager to help me with Oishya and in the post I asked specifically about pointing out what they would change. I don’t believe CV or education is important these days, rather, willingness to learn and keeping up to date with what’s possible.
Most people treat have a a spray and pray tactic – they just say “I’m interested – please PM me”. Are they expecting this will work?
You get the best gigs and become part of something magical by co-creating it. Not following orders. No great company management wants to micromanage. They want the contrarians, who will challenge them and come with solutions when they see a problem.
When I applied for a job as a business analyst, I told my future bosses what’s wrong (in my opinion) with their tactic, by that time I was so fed up with all the interviews, I told him all, without being too polite. And I got the job.
Show initiative. Show that you understand their problem and you’ve made your homework, and you will get the job or the client for your company.
