1/ COMMUNITY MANAGER: I found an email address on a website to a random company and cold emailed to say that I was entry level and would do any role. I added some personality to the email and landed an interview for a brand new role. Started my career at @wework making $28k

2/ STRATEGIST: I left wework and emailed just about everyone I knew. I asked to meet up for a coffee and asked if they knew anyone hiring. A friend I had reached out to offered me a role at her company after meeting for coffee. ty @sjw <3
3/ OPERATIONS MANAGER: I got lucky, and a former member of wework whom I had worked with, referred me to my ceo at @managedbyq. The power of the network.
4/ DIRECTOR OF CX / OPERATIONS: I went to every VC& #39;s website and filled out contact forms. I asked if any of their portfolios were looking for someone with my level of experience. I applied to all of their talent networks and I got connected to a CEO through a ntwk.
5/ DIRECTOR OF CX / OPS 2: I followed the same process, but this time, I sent a cold email directly to VCs. I asked to get coffee with as many people as I could, and ask for their advice on my resume, if their portfolios were hiring, etc., and was introduced to the team at Petal.
6/ There is a lot you can do to to find a job. I didn& #39;t find any of my roles from a job board, and none of them (literally) had a job description I applied for.
First, polish your resume and your linkedin, and write a badass cold email.

Second, acknowledge the 2nd half of the process: hard work and getting creative is a critical step in finding the diamond in the rough. Believe in yourself and don& #39;t get up. Your persistence and passion will be appreciated.
