Are you making opportunities for LIVE networking?!

Resources of the Week!

1. This post from Ryan Landau led me to discover a very cool job board that has filters for specific benefits, values, etc. It’s totally free, and has been added to my job board list!

2. Morgan Sanner published this very cool list of 500+ bullet points for your resume based on job title! She plans to keep expanding this so make sure to book mark and check back!

3. Kailey Trussel, a jobseeker, made this template for a “visual cover letter” that can be sent to employers.

4. I made a guide to side hustles/additional income streams (primarily ones I have experience with). I did not include content creation here since that’s so niche, but hopefully these ideas are helpful for those looking for extra income (without needing special training/spending extra money).
   _{Also I will note here that many folks looking for extra income are easy targets for MLMs. The FTC shows that 99% of those involved in MLMs make no money, or average out to a few cents an hour so I please do not get yourself roped into these!}

Shall we connect live?

Recruiting Happy Hour is tomorrow at 3 PST!

And sign up for a networking chat! (I’m now going to drop these more regularly vs every month in hopes of giving more people a chance to see/grab one - so this has spots just for the next week.)

Networking Live

This week, I attended my first live networking event in about 6 months with Tech Ladies. It was great to connect live with jobseekers, and meet some new folks in my area as well!

I know so many folks struggle to make connections with people via LinkedIn so I wanted to share some ideas for accessing live networking events. I think that in-person touch point can build a much more powerful and authentic connection, and potentially offer more support for your job search.

Some ideas:

1. Join communities related to your industry, field, or identity. Tech Ladies, Elpha, Blacks in Tech, Out in Tech, etc. Do some searches, check out reviews, and see if something is a match!

2. Volunteer! Many people who are established in their careers tend to spend time giving back so getting involved with local non-profits may be a way to build authentic connections with people who could also support your career development.

3. Engage people in your local community group. Can’t find the right group? Start your own! Post in your local community group that you’d like to network with others in X field, and ask if folks are interested in a happy hour or lunch meet up. You could even set a meet up at a local playground so parents can bring the kiddos and adults can talk shop.

🙋Answering Your Questions🙋

Each week, I’ll answer a few of your questions in this section. You can submit your questions here.

I would probably explore either higher level versions of your role (like People Ops Manager or HR Manager), or specialize in an area of HR (like compensation and benefits, HR analytics, employee relations, HR technology, recruiting, etc.) based on what you enjoy and where’ve spent most of your time in your role!

If you’re looking to move out of the HR space, then project management, operations, or customer support, or customer success might use a lot of the same skills.

You might explore corporate giving or corporate social responsibility positions where your understanding of non-profits could be really valuable. Program officer roles with foundations could be another path to explore. You could look at roles in sales or marketing, especially for companies that sell to non-profits since you understand that space so well. There are also a number of companies that offer fractional development services, grant writers, etc to non-profits, so there may be a more operational role you could play in any sort of business that sells to non-profits.
