How To Build And Manage Your Job Pipeline
Landing a job can super challenging. Don’t get discouraged and remember to have a process with your job search. It can take up to 3 months to land a new role. It doesn’t matter if you come from engineering, product, BD, or sales, the process can be exhausting. Below are suggestions and steps to consider that will give you actionable items to help you land a new role faster.
Manage your job pipeline like a sales pipeline. Build your job pipeline with 30–40 new job opportunities. Theses job opportunities need to be focused on direct referrals that can introduce you to open roles. Don’t waste your time just clicking on LinkedIn and AngelList postings, you need to find a direct intro to a specific role — keep in mind that LinkedIn and AngelList can be a great place to source new opportunities.
