Asaf Amran

Over the past decade, I have reviewed over 1,000 cv's in search for the best team members to join our team. I see a lot of people in Israel in need of jobs these days so sharing some tips from my experience as a manager and Organizational Psychologist that I hope can be helpful. If you have any questions or additional insights, please feel free to comment below or pm me. I divided the job-seeking journey into 4 stages: 1. Self-reflection 2. CV building 3. Networking 4. “Dating” your future boss In this post I will cover some pointers for the first 3 stages. Next post will cover pointers for the last stage. *Self-reflection* 1. Self-reflection and understanding what you are good at and what you are passionate about. 2. Who are you - Need to be able to answer this in 2-3 lines at the top of the CV. Are you a manager and looking to be in a leadership role or more of a hands-on executive? Is your focus marketing/sales/coding/project management? Pro tip: Ask your friends to be honest with you and share the value they see you bring. It will crystalize your own view as well. *CV and LinkedIn profile* 1. CV building - how does your future boss know you are great at what you do? What success and impact did you have that you can articulate with numbers? 2. The design is great. But the most important is the content. Make sure clear description in the header what you do and keep it short, with bullet points and a 1-pager. Make sure no mistakes. If there is even 1 typo, it is a no-go. 3. Passion talks. Years ago I hired a young man with very little experience because he came with great passion and told me how he taught himself code at age 11. See how you can find that story that highlights your greatness. *Networking* 1. Networking and asking friends for an intro or to put in a good word. Identify 10 people you will have coffee with to brainstorm your career. Some will give you great advice. Others will give you a good lead. 2. Don't only think about networking with those who can give you the job today but rather with those who know people that can help you. 3. The best way to build trust is to show your work in action. I once hired someone because he reached out and explained to me in a loom video why one of my client websites stinked and how that can be fixed. He didn't tell me what he does but showed me. What tips have you found as a manager that you would give future employees?

𝘼𝙡𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙄𝙨 𝙉𝙤 𝙉𝙚𝙚𝙙, 𝙄 𝙒𝙞𝙡𝙡.. 🚀 Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing well. 📌A few months ago, I joined LinkedIn with high hopes of meeting people who could help bring my project to life. But reality had other plans: ➡️ I met many people, but they had their own priorities. ➡️ My plan was deemed a failure, and I was labeled as incompetent. ➡️ It shattered my heart, and I found myself on the verge of giving up. 🔷 In my darkest moment, my big brother (Dada) stepped in with wisdom that reignited my spirit: 📌 "Do it. I trust you. Research your plan once again with a clear mind. Never let yourself feel demotivated." 🔷 This profound advice taught me several invaluable lessons: ➡️ When you feel like giving up, give it one more try. Often, success is just around the corner. ➡️ Always trust in yourself. Your belief in your abilities is the first step towards achieving your goals. ➡️ Share your struggles with your loved ones. Their support can be the catalyst you need, just as my Dada’s faith was for me. 🔷 Remember, every setback is a setup for a comeback. Keep pushing forward, and never lose hope. 🙂Comment below if u find anything wrong and do correct me also tell me if u have feel same in comment section... #Perseverance #SelfBelief #NeverGiveUp #SupportSystem #OvercomingObstacles #Inspiration #Motivation #Leadership
