Leander, thank you for such a lovely, helpful and detailed video! I'm a fairly experienced designer, recently moved to the UK and am in my second month of looking for a job as a Product Designer in London. Out of 100 applications only a few replies and all about rejection. I'm very very frustrated. With your video you have given me inspiration, faith that everything will be fine and a new approach to job hunting! Please keep creating content! You're doing a great job! 🙏
@@leanderangst I love your approach. I will have to get my LinkedIn profile up to speed and use your trick. Quick question: Does the connection request message necessarily has to be entered on the company's work/mission or something about the person's profile, speech, article read etc? What's your take on sending email instead of LinkedIn? New suscriber here! Waiting for your video on interview.
Hi @@nanapoku5259, happy to hear and welcome! The key is to be as personal as you can be in your message - that could mean including something about the person's career history, about the work they're doing at their company, an article they wrote, talk they gave, etc... I prefer LinkedIn for this because it lets them see your profile, which gives them insight into who you are - an email doesn't have a picture of you, show your work history, school, etc...so would stick to a LinkedIn DM! Let me know how it goes :)
Thank you so much for this content it makes me think also that i need to step back and observe where i might mistaking. Got couple of ideas from your video. Again thanks.
