If I knew that looking for a job in tech would be this much excitement, maybe I would have started before!
This week I applied to a few Udemy courses that talk a bit more about SaaS sales. And also started actually seen some of the videos that I saved in a Youtube list about remote work in general and Tech Sales.
On Monday I started organizing my job application on Notion. It still have space for improvement, but let me tell you… Looks great! Not only the The company name and Job description are there. But the version of my resume I used, who I contacted from the company, details of the process, interview notes! It’s all there!
If Tuesday was the day I had my first interview, Wednesday I received my first rejection. It was a position I though I was aiming a bit too high. But was still a great opportunity, because is a Startup that’s just starting in Brazil. And I responded to the email highlighting my skills and my interest, creating a channel of communication for them to look for me when they need more people.
I finally found the AngelList, which now is WellFound. Apparently is a job posting every one that looks for a job in Startups knows. I applied to one where I felt like was a better fit, and one where I just shoot my shot with a ready resume… Guess which one answered later that same day? Yeah…
They sent me an email, explaining further about the Company, and how the work would be. And I realized I wasn’t really excited about the job how they presented. So I declined. Thursday another Startup got in touch, and I answered, this time setting up a meeting.
Statistics
- Meetings: 6 (slow week)
- Applications: 7 (5 I applied and 2 startups came talk to me over Wellfound)
- Personal meetings: 0 (home all week)
- New Connections: 4 new connections over LinkedIn
- Interviews: 1 (there was a request for a Try on in Wellfound but I declined)
- LinkedIn SSI (Social Selling Index); 45
Another aspect of looking for a Job outside Brazil is the difference in replying. So many people reply when I reach for a connection outside Brazil! I have several brazilians that left me on read during this week.
This week started fast paced and slowed down after Wednesday… Or maybe I got hyped up and thought it slowed down.
