1/ Hey Twitter, have you applied to 157 jobs this year and gotten a handful of interviews and still not a single offer?

[continue the thread]

 2/ It’s been a rough year for many of us and being unemployed is a huge added stressor to that.

Here are a few of the main issues I’ve seen with students in my program.
3/ ISSUE #1

You’re limiting yourself to one single strategy - applying on job boards.

Job boards have a really low success rate. Unless your resume and skill set is really outstanding, you’re competing against HUNDREDS of other applicants and your chances are low.
4/ ISSUE #2

You’re not being intentional.

It may seem like the right approach to browse and apply for whatever kind of fits.

But you’re fitting a square peg in a round hole.

So the opposite. Sit down and design your next role. Wants, work, companies and deal breakers.
5/ ISSUE #3

You’re up in your own head.

You’ve written and rewritten your resume a hundred times. You FEEL EXHAUSTED and are using a lot of energy, but aren’t actually applying to very many jobs.

Focus on outreach and connections. Talk to everyone you know!
6/ ISSUE #4

You’re getting interviews but not landing them.

This takes practice. Practice with a friend or a career coach.

It’s likely that you’re coming across unfocused, or you haven’t mapped out specific quantifiable accomplishments for them to latch on to.
7/ ISSUE #5

You’re not following up!

The “thank you” email is not just a formality. It is a critical step in the process.

In it you can:

1- Remind them about the things they loved about you.

2- Address any of their concerns or mistakes you made

3- Give some extra details
8/ Over the course of the 2020, I’ve been able to help people like Blake.

- spent 9 months applying
- applied to between 160-220 jobs

He just got a great job that hit his target salary right from the start.

With some negotiation coaching we landed him $5K more. 🔥
9/ Then we’ve got people like Annie. Annie was a MACHINE.

- spent 12 months job searching
- applied to 160 jobs
- got LOTS of interviews

But couldn’t land a job.

3 weeks into my program she landed a job offer $20K higher than her last job.
10/ Then we have people like Andrew who spent a lot of money on other career programs who have them very generic advice that didn’t help much with his specific circumstance.

They didn’t give him:

- support and accountability
- help and feedback when an opportunity came up
11/ Then we’ve got Jorge

- applied for 160 jobs
- spent 12 months job seeking

3 weeks into the program, using the email outreach techniques I taught him, he landed an incredible job offer.

Then he was afraid to negotiate. When we did, he got $5K higher salary.
12/ Then we’ve got Marsha

Marsha was great, she just needed to quantify what she has done and what she expects to accomplish at this new company.

She landed a great offer, then with some salary negotiation coaching, we landed her a second offer $10K HIGHER! 🔥🔥🔥
13/ So a bit more about the program I offer:

- 6 weeks
- Group coaching
- Live calls every Saturday
- 10:30am - 12:00noon
- 1-on-1 calls with me for any major event (interview, salary negotiation etc)
- Private slack accountability group
- A total overhaul on your job search
14/ In just the first week, you’ll start building out an insanely-organized job search pipeline the likes of which you’ve never seen before.

Here you’ll see precisely who is reading your emails and when to help you make data-driven decisions on what to focus your efforts on.
15/ If that sounds like your jam the next program starts on Saturday, January 9th so don’t wait!

You can apply at
https://t.co/u257fmvakD
16/ Or if this thread sounds good enough for you, you can skip the site and apply right here:

https://t.co/QkBZRVlKga
17/ If you’re wondering about the value of the course, consider what you’ll pay with other coaches:

Typical Career Coaches
$150 -250/hour

Online Career Course
$200-400

Resume Rewrite Session
$200
18/ What you’ll get:

- 9 Hours of Live Group Classes
$500+ value

- Average 3-5 hrs of 1-on-1 sessions per student
$600- $1000+ value

🎁BONUS
- Sign up by Jan 1 and get a free 1-on-1 resume rewrite ($200 value)

Value: $1300-1700
Price: $749 🤯
19/ And the results speak for themselves.

Don’t wait! There are only 5 spots left in the program! Let’s chat today!

Sooo, some time ago I've promised a thread about my job as a product manager for Kotlin Multipaltform Mobile team. And Friday seems like a good day to do it. Let's roll?

What do I do as a product manager for KMM? Well, same things all pm's do: explore my product, its users and the market around it, work on our strategy and goals, help teams with planning, conduct researches, test hypothesises, and so on, and so on.

Ok, ok, before you get bored to death: there are also things I do not because I'm a pm, but because no one else wants to do it - and this shit needs to be done.

Top-3 things I wish I did not do on this job:
1. Writing documentation
2. Trying to think of a proper name for a product couple of years after it was released (ugh)
3. Fixing some content on our landing page with zero knowledge about web development (actually went pretty well)

Now you can try and guess which pages on https://t.co/ffwIQ8psaY were written by me 🤣

Daniel Heath Justice, ...
@justicedanielh
Having a Ph.D. doesn’t make a person special, but it’s a gruelling years-long initiation many of us were never expected to survive and did so in spite of shitty, incurious white gatekeepers who kissed other white gatekeeper ass to get access that we kicked doors down to achieve.

My Ph.D. wasn’t about just me—it was about my family’s and mentors’ love and support. Every degree, promotion, accolade, etc., is theirs too. They’re proud; so am I. Social capital isn’t the same thing as worth, but we’ll take it for what it is and never mistake what it means.

We belong at all levels, at all the tables, with all the degrees and the honourifics. And we’ll keep earning them, and making space for more of our own. It isn’t the only work that matters, and the academy is brutal and corrosive, but so is every other structure and institution.

Degrees and titles aren’t who we are; we’re helped with perspective by our kin, our friends, and our communities. BIPOC folks questioning value of or complicities in pursuing a Ph.D.—that’s an important, complex, and nuanced discussion. But others had best tread carefully.

If patronizing bigots whinge that we “wrong” kind of people are sullying the elitist degrees, titles, and honours that were intended solely for their pale, male, and stale country club cliques, kindly address complaints to me, Dr. Justice, and my Ph.D. colleagues, at Screw U.

Panniyur Sri Varahamurthy Temple Palakkad, Kerala
#KeralaTemples 🚩

Panniyur Sri Varahamurthy Temple is located in Pattambi Taluk of Palakkad District. This is believed to be the first temple in Kerala, where Prathishta was done by Parasurama

Story says that, Parashurama after


Creating Kerala was doing Tapasya here. But he was disturbed as the land faced turbulence. Parashurama sought Narada’s help, who advised him to pray to Vishnu. Parashurama started praying Maha Vishnu. Finally Maha Vishnu appeared and told to do Prathishta of his Varaha Avatar.


As Earth is saved in Varaha Avatar, this temple is famous to solve land related issues.

Many people conduct Bhoomi puja here, which is very special here. They bring sand from around the temple which is used for pooja and then has to be returned to the same spot 👇


from where it was taken.
It is also believed that Perumthachan, the legedary craftsman has abandoned his tools here.
Om Shri Varaha Murthaye Namah

This is NONSENSE. The people who take photos with their books on instagram are known to be voracious readers who graciously take time to review books and recommend them to their followers. Part of their medium is to take elaborate, beautiful photos of books. Die mad, Guardian.


THEY DO READ THEM, YOU JUDGY, RACOON-PICKED TRASH BIN


If you come for Bookstagram, i will fight you.

THREAD

I get asked for writing tips a lot. Of all the ones I’ve given, here are a few of the ones that seem to hold true and remain somewhat universal or at least mostly unobjectionable:

#amwriting #writingtips

1. If you are a fast writer (i.e., if you compose first drafts very quickly) then you absolutely must become a slow editor. Much of what I call “writing” is really, for me, editing.

2. If you don’t read you cannot write a lot or well. Sure, maybe you can read like a maniac for a decade and then read less after that, but without some large volume of intake, there will never be a meaningful output.

2.1 I sometimes say that I feel like writing without reading is like trying to run a marathan on a cracker. And sadly I see many students struggling to write when they have simply never read enough to fuel that demand of the task at hand.

3. All writing is writing if one decides to treat it that way. If one takes some degree of intentional will when sending emails, posting on social media and writing notes and marginalia, then all of that can count as meaningful daily writing.

1) Core attributes of a promising founder worth following:
- Progress/trajectory over time
- How well they lead a team &
- Make the vision happen
- Most impressed when someone is way ahead of where you thought they would be when you check up/see them a few months later.

2) Indie Makers have such a benefit of being small, fast, nimble workers in comparison to big companies.

We can easily pivot and vastly change a project of ours. We can change as we learn more about our users.

Big companies can take months/years for even the smallest of pivots.

3) Before you find a product market you can pivot your project as many times as necessary until you find something that works.

Then you only have one thing to do: scale, scale, scale.

4) Be obsessed with the little details.
- listen to every single person who uses your product
- reply to every single person who emails you about your product
- ask them what they like and do not like
- iterate your product, make changes, pivot if necessary

5) Paul Graham's (@paulg) name came up with a feeling of great admiration! Naturally! It was Paul who said:

In the early stages of a company just;
- write code
- talk/sell to customers to stress test your idea

Nothing else.

LACHIT BORPHUKAN : AN UNSUNG WARRIOR OF THE AHOM KINGDOM & THE GREAT BATTLE OF SARAIGHAT

Originally named as Lachit Deca, Lachit Borphukan, the fierce and invincible Ahom Commander, was born during the early 17th century at Betioni in the Golaghat district of modern Assam.


His father, Momai Tamuli Borbarua was the ‘Governor’ of the kingdom and also ‘Commander-in-Chief’ of Ahom army under King Pratap Singha during his reign starting from 1603 to 1639. Lachit received military training from an early age and joined the Ahom King Jayadhvaj Singha...


...(1648-1663) as a scarf-bearer.  The post ‘scarf-bearer’ or ‘Soladhara Barua’ is considered as a part of the incumbent king’s personal staff. Owing to his military training Lechit was appointed "Ghora Barua", Supdt. of the Royal horses. When Chakradhwaj Singha became king..


..of Ahom dynasty in 1663,he appointed him Suptd. of The Royal Guards &finally he was appointed as Borphukan by the king.Then onwards,he was known as Lachit Borphukan.Borphukan used to be top councillor in Ahom Kingdom. This position was embedded with executive & judicial powers.


Assam was facing incessant Islamic invasion since Jan1662, when Mughal General Mir Jumla II attacked Ahom capital Gargaon. He never defeated Ahom king Jayadhwaja Singha as king retreated to hill &continued Guerrilla warfare.Prolonged fight &prospect of stalemate disturbed Jumla.
