1/ Been thinking a lot about the interview process lately (@MorningBrew is hiring). I’ve helped not only grow the company over the last 18 months, but specifically the Rev Org from 3 to 30. Here are a few things from my experience that can hopefully help others 🧵👇 (1/18)
2/ Don’t apply just to apply. Know what job you’re looking at, and what that role actually does at the co. This can be done easily by researching the company. This will save you stress and time so you don’t apply to a role you are not actually interested in or qualified for.
3/ Read the JD carefully and thoroughly. Yes, there are some bad and vague JDs out there, but a lot are well-crafted and specific. Speak to the qualifications and responsibilities specifically.
4/ If there's real estate to write, use it. If there are questions, answer them. If there’s an opportunity for a cover letter, submit one. But, do not waste the opportunity with generic answers or a form letter. Extra space on an application is an opportunity to do a few things:
5/
- Show you care and feel this is more than a “job” - paint a picture and tell a story.
- Prove your writing skills and communication ability - great communicators are essentially in just about any role...there’s an opportunity to stand out here from the start.
