This is going to be a massive [THREAD] on how I did it.
Prepare yourself!

I was working the typical 9 to 5
Overworked, underpaid and underappreciated.
I told myself something better is out there waiting for me.
So I decided to go out and find it.

1. I asked myself.
What do I do better than the people around me?
What is something that comes so naturally to me that other people are looking for?
For me it's Leadership so I started looking for jobs in management.

2. I updated my CV.
I found a template online that I liked and got to work.
Pro tip:
Make sure you never go over 2 pages.
Keep it short and to the point.

3. I updated my LinkedIn profile.
Don't be surprised if a recruiter searches for you on LinkedIn. They did for me!
Pro tip:
Get over 500 connections since it's the maximum # of connections that shows on your profile.
So no one knows if you have 501 or 10 000

4. I wrote down a list of 10 companies I wanted to work for.
I went to the career section of their websites and applied.
Pro tip:
Never apply to more than 1 position per company at a time. It makes you looked confused at what you want to do.

5. I joined 3 job search websites and start looking for management positions.
Pro tip:
I found companies I had never heard of but were very interesting.
If a company interested me I researched to see if we shared the same values and tried to visualize myself working there.

6. I went to the interview prepared.
I brought copies of my CV, a note pad and I wrote down questions I wanted to ask.
Pro tip:
You are interviewing the company and your new boss as much as they are interviewing you.
After the interview if it doesn’t feel right walk away.

7. I found a boss who I wanted to work for and who believed in me.
This is THE most important factor in moving up.
Pro tip:
Someone once told me. It’s doesn’t matter how well you do if your boss doesn't like you.
Best career advice I ever got.

8. Have confidence every step of the way.
I walked in there like the interviewer was lucky I decided to show up and honor them with my presence.
Pro tip:
How you walk and talk is a reflection of your confidence. Make sure it shows
