      Hi Erin, Id like to thank you for helping me land my first job! I saw ur videos on interviews after my second year at uni ended (where i failed to get a bunch of internships) and this year ive just been applying like crazy and it got so demoralising at times to constantly apply that at this point i was burnt out and tired of it all. I managed to get a few interviews and your advice really helped me in figuring out what the interviewers wanted to hear, the sort of questions i should ask and how i should respond. So thank you so much!!

    When you said that everyone can see who checked out your account, I had just stalked about all my current and past employees including every single one from my high school and my bfs siblings. 🎉🎉

    I often find that the conversation doesn't go anywhere, like I'd reach out, will get like one response and then it's nothing, cause there isn’t much to genuinely talk about.

      Because let’s be honest there just isn’t any authenticity a lot of times not to your or the other person fault. A lot of times everyone out for themselves which makes sense. Compare to finding people you had a connection with in the past and randomly saw on LinkedIn

      Think of it like making friends in real life. Should you stop trying to make friends altogether just because a few random people didn't click with you? Even if the people you sought out might not have much in common or need your connection, they might have others in their network. It's good to know friends of friends.

    This is super helpful. I’m always sending my boyfriend your videos because he wants to be a freelance documentary filmmaker as well. I didn’t know you worked at National Geographic, I’ve recommended him to try to work there since we’re big Nat Geo fans. Anyways, love you Erin!!

    Honestly, One of the best videos I've seen. I'm really shy and introvert, I know I have to network but I'm always so afraid to do that because I think I don't have nothing to show to the person. I've been procrastinating networking for so long (because to be honest, I find it kind of cringe) but now this video has really motivated me. Thank you so much for this helpful video Erin!

  • @lousassle9387
    @lousassle9387 2 місяці тому +2

    Being persistent is key. I've found that only about 1-2 out of every 10 people will respond back, but the rate of people that connect is much, much higher. While we might have someone specific in mind to talk to, their network of relevant people should not be discounted! Keep pushing ahead and you just might find what you've been looking for. This is great advice for those that see LinkedIn as a convoluted platform.

    Quite the nice perspective on the matter :o Thank you for the valuable tips, Erin! I still have a problem with networking in it's more... transactional form... But hopefully these tips help in the pursuit of real professional connection :) And one thing is for sure, giving help and genuine interest when possible, even in comments, does return in the most unexpected but most delightful of ways :)

    Hi Erin! Thank you so much for this video - it’s incredibly helpful. When it comes to tailoring your profile, do you have any advice for what to do if you are applying to different types of positions, for example Client Account Manager roles vs Operational Management vs Team Lead Roles? How do you tailor your profile if you maybe are making a career change and are exploring different pathways which your experience may be suitable for?

    I think people send these straight to the point messages, because people are bad at responding in general.
    You can send a bunch of personalized messages, and still get no response. Or a response that is only half committed, like the responses in the vid.
    I notice directly if someone replies to me and they seem to not care.
    Short questions are better, because people don’t read more than 10 words nowadays. (And I don’t want it to be that way)

    The problem with this video is the same problem I observed with LinkedIn when it was new: There are almost no articles or posts on LinkedIn worth reading or that deserve a compliment. If I want to know something, why would I go to LinkedIn and not to a professionally published source or editorial?

    Hey Erin, can you please make a video or short on how to salvage a bad interview? I had my first interview in months and I messed up! 😭 I was so nervous, so I fumbled the words (it was not in my native language) and I lost track of what I was trying to say. At the end the guy said that he thought I lacked the depth of experience that they were looking for 😭💔 Can I email them better answers to the questions I messed up? Or is it a lost cause?

How would you present your CV if you had done over ten years in gastronomy but are now a law student for 2 years with now his first legal job experience? Maybe shorten the unimportant parts or leave them completely out?
