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?

Take a look at this picture. It was taken today at our Salesforce offices in Tel-Aviv. It shows a few dozens of Salesforce Israel employees in one of our regular all-hands meetings. What's so special about that? Well, that picture was taken exactly 36 hours after Iran launched a massive aerial strike against Israel with 100s of UCAVs, ballistic and cruise missiles carrying about 60 tons(!) of explosives. Thanks to the Israeli Air force, the air forces of the US, UK, France, Jordan and others *and* Israeli innovation and engineering talent who developed the most advanced multi-layered air defense systems in the world - luckily that attack ended up with relatively low impact. It was a sleepless night for all us in Israel who got an advanced notice of the attack and basically spent that night bracing for impact. Now take another look at this picture. 36 hours later - People showing up at the office, talking to each other, having a few laughs, having meetings, discussing deadlines, solving business problems, discussing engineering problems, doing demos, having coffee and lunch together, having an all-hands meeting together. 36 hours ago we were bracing for impact of 60 tons of explosives that were about to fall out of the sky. Take another look at this picture - This is how resilience looks like. You can count on us. We deliver. No matter what. https://lnkd.in/eXSvz3xv

If it's worth boasting about, let's skip the modesty! It's a story about creating Happy from scratch. Happy, a Viven Operations dental subsidiary, sells clear aligners across Israel. They work with partner doctors to ensure top-notch care and expert support, all focusing on promoting healthy teeth and fulfilling lives. So, here's what we've been up to at Halo Lab — Your Digital Partner Lab: ✦ Crafted modern branding to capture the energy of the target audience.  ✦ We tackled Hebrew font challenges and chose Avenir Next Hebrew and Gan CLM, suited to the language's unique style.  ✦ Designed the website with a sticker-style layout, using a mix of images and block-based tiles.  ✦ Added features like Treatable Cases, Day and Night Treatment, and a Mini Quiz to boost user engagement. Guess what? Healthcare can be warm and friendly – now you know it! 😁 Check out the full case study 👉 https://lnkd.in/eCGeBfBZ

This post is dedicated to my non-Israeli friends. But everyone’s welcome to read it :)   I’m sitting down to write this post about 10 minutes before the Israeli Memorial Day transitions to our Independence Day. Every year this is a nearly unbearable transition, from deep sadness to pride and joy. We are taught, from a very young age (as early as 6 years old, as I learned this year through my son), that these two dates were set intentionally, so that us Israelis will always remember that our independence came, and keeps coming, at great cost. This year, I feel it’s even worse than unbearable. It’s simply impossible. I find myself uncapable of celebrating Independence Day. As a nation and a country, we’re still at war. As an individual (and far from being the only one feeling like this), I’m still mourning. I truly believe we should still find ways to be happy and participate in or even initiate whatever activities that serve that purpose. But highlighting the achievement of becoming an independent country, of forming a safe country for Jewish people.. Right now it just doesn’t feel like the right time to do that.     And here’s why I’m writing to you, non-Israelis. I want to tell you more about what I’m mourning. I hope this will help those of you who see Israel at a mostly negative light, better understand the complexity of our reality.   Personally, I fully acknowledge Israel shares the responsibility over the truly shitty life of the people of Gaza. Along with that, I’m mourning what Israelis must live through right now: The tragic loss of so many loved ones, so many of them in terrible ways that I don’t think I’ll ever dare expose myself to. The need to leave their homes, and uproot their families, their whole lives. The fear that we’ll never feel safe again, not in Israel, and not anywhere else. The feeling I often struggle with, that I might never fully recover from my personal Oct 7 experience. That I will never be my best self again because of it – not the best mother I want to be, not the best partner, not the best friend, not the best employee.   So back to the complexity – you see, almost all Israelis are like me. People who just want to feel safe, just want to provide their kids with everything they need, just want to be able to celebrate without thinking about all that is wrong in the world.   I’m proud to be Israeli, although I’ve never felt more challenged to say it out loud.

40,000. Let that sink in. Time is the enemy of everything, if you can weather the storm, time, you will find yourself and your company achieving awesome things. We are surviving, and I am excited now that the platform is built to bring in additional members to clean up the css to get it out to the public. I recommend honestly the bootstrap approach until things stabilize or serious funding or revenue are coming in. hire the talent you need to address the problem. half of companies kill themselves out of ego in hiring those who contribute to long term solutions that may exacerbate the short term. food for thought. it's only on supporting each other, rowing together, we weather the storm. #israel #israeliinnovation

ONLINE BOOKING FOR MEDICAL CENTERS ---- Back in Russia, it was a must. You don't have online booking - patients will go to a clinic that has it. Period. Here in Israel Health IT and service level in medical centers is way less advanced (but the doctors are way better 😁), but it's gonna change. And we are working on that=) All clinics using our solution have online booking, and, hopefully, the number of them will increase. We've been doing online booking for over 10 years, and yes, we know A LOT about it. Online booking helps you: 1. Increase site conversion level up to 2x 2. Increase the level of patient's service 3. Lower costs on call-center. So, here is a short story in our blog: https://lnkd.in/eUHaHDjq

>14K KIDS + >10K WOMEN = >65% of the dead = U.S. funded GENOCIDE 👉🏿 Please listen to U. of Chicago Prof. John Mearsheimer explain how Israel is dragging us into a war with Iran, which could easily spiral into WW3. He says Israel believes "the bigger the war, the greater the opportunity for ethnic cleansing” & has always used war as a cover for ethnic cleansing: lnkd.in/g9tDWs2i 👉🏿 What would you do if someone stole or demolished your house & livelihood, killed some of your family, & left the rest of you to live in the squalor of a refugee camp? That is what Israel did to over 750K Palestinians in 1948, over 300K in 1967, over 250K since 1967, & MORE EVERY YEAR. 👉🏿 Most of the families in Gaza owned homes & farms where Israeli cities & towns now stand, which Israel literally stole from them. Many even still have their front door keys. AND NOW ISRAEL IS DOING IT TO THEM FOR THE 2ND TIME. 👉🏿 Jewish-Israeli sources: 1) Prof. Ilan Pappé, Historian: lnkd.in/gFBK6sPB 2) Miko Peled, ex-IDF soldier, son of an Israeli general & grandson of one of Israel’s founders: lnkd.in/geiy3_5s 👉🏿 The root cause of this horrible conflict is that Israeli Zionists actually believe they own every Palestinian home & farm, & have the right to kill indigenous Palestinian families who won’t leave, FOR THE CRIME OF NOT BEING JEWISH. 👉🏿 Here is renowned Jewish-American Prof. Noam Chomsky explaining how ridiculous the Zionist ownership claim is: lnkd.in/gtHPPHUz Palestinians have been there for thousands of years, never left, & their genetics proves it. At some point, their Canaanite & Jewish ancestors simply converted to Christianity &/or Islam. So why would that mean Jewish immigrants from Europe & the U.S., who have never even been there, own all of their homes & property? 👉🏿 And this article explains how Israel has always been able to beat Hamas & ensure its security WITHOUT KILLING CHILDREN. Israel ignores this option because its goal is not to beat Hamas, but rather to keep using them & similar groups as a pretext to continue ethnically cleansing more of historic Palestine. That’s why Israel helped strengthen Hamas for years & continues using indiscriminate brutality against all Palestinians even though it only helps Hamas & similar groups recruit. Most of the 30K Hamas fighters today were orphaned by Israeli bombing over the past 20 years, & Israel just created around 30K more orphans since 10/7: lnkd.in/gY98T9mc 👉🏿 I also cry for the 38 Israeli kids killed on 10/7, but this horrible conflict did NOT start on that day & there was no ceasefire. The proof is the nearly 1400 Palestinian kids killed by Israeli soldiers & settlers between 2008 & Oct 2023, including 43 kids during the 9 months just before 10/7 (all details on BTselem.org) 👉🏿 And Israel has also imposed a brutal 57 year occupation/apartheid on Palestinians, & a brutal blockade of Gaza since 2005. Both illegal, immoral, & ongoing acts of war. 👉🏿 All paid for with OUR TAX DOLLARS

According to a new report co-produced by Google Israel and RISE Israel (formerly SNPI), there are more than 2,300 AI startups active in Israel today. That number accounts for roughly one quarter of all the technology companies in the country. It is well known that Israel has the highest number of startups per capita in the world, but we must continue to capitalize on the AI moment if we want to hold onto the technology crown. In fact, the report notes that AI startups in Israel are not launching at the pace of previous startup eras. At our Google Cloud Summit Tel Aviv last week, we saw a lot of excitement and innovation around AI. With that in mind, I authored a Google Cloud blog highlighting 5 of Google Cloud Israel’s top AI customers here in Israel that show that Israel is still a leader in new tech. These companies are leading in almost every sector of AI, including healthtech, security, databases, and content creation. I invite you to read the blog and learn more about them: CytoReason, founded by David H. and Prof. Shai Shen-Orr, a tech company transforming biopharma’s decision-making from trial and error to data-driven using an AI Platform of computational disease models. Fairtility, founded by Eran Eshed and Assaf Ben-Meir, is reimagining IVF for the modern fertility clinic with a suite of AI software tools. Hour One, founded by Oren Aharon and Lior Hakim, revolutionizes content creation for businesses by centralizing all workflows in one AI-powered platform Lightricks, founded by Zeev Farbman, Nir Pochter, Yaron Inger and Amit Goldstein, is transforming storytelling with products that integrate AI and video production. Wiz, founded by Assaf Rappaport, Ami Luttwak, Yinon C. and Roy R., recently launched support for Google Cloud Vertex AI. Now, Wiz customers can build, train, and deploy ML models at scale while ensuring they are effectively monitoring and managing the security risks associated with managing AI/ML models. I am personally more motivated than ever and believe even more strongly that Israel will deliver No Matter What. https://lnkd.in/d25ueAyw #Google #GoogleCloud #CloudForIsrael #NoMatterWhat #StartupNation #GoogleCloudSummit

**An Israeli Startup Entrepreneur’s Response to Darkness, Part II** Imagine someone asked you to go into a room and turn off the dark. ?!?! What would you do? Of course, you would turn on a light. And if they asked you to turn the dark back on, well, you would turn off the light. Because darkness does not have a switch – it has no ‘שימוש’. It is the absence of light, or the presence of light. You want less darkness? Well there is only one question to ask – one thing to do: Turn on a light. Most of the corporate business world deals with trying to turn off the dark. That is, they sit with the status quo, and move around existing technologies and resources in order to create different results. Not us entrepreneurs. No sir. No Ma’am. We light new lights. ‘ויהי אור’ – Let there be light.  We have these highly unusual spirits. Where others see painful gaps that must be managed, we imagine new solutions. Where others struggle with existing darkness, we find new ways to create light. The cool thing about light is, that unlike any other element, it multiplies without diminishing when you share it. It’s like my teacher, Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach once said: “If I pour you some water from my cup, now we both have half a cup (before, I had a full cup). But when I light your unlit candle with my flame, now we have two flames. And when we join them together, the sum is greater than either part. That’s us Israeli entrepreneurs. And the thing is, we have another crazy power.  I think it comes from us Jews waiting 2,000 years to return to our homeland, always believing it was going to happen “any day now!”  Yeah, doesn’t that sound like most startup founders that you know?? You see, it is in our DNA. We don’t do ‘hopelessness’. We are more tenacious than even Jack Black. ‘חוסן’ - 'Resilient' - is our middle name. So let’s remember who we are, my dear fellow members of the Israeli Startup Community. Our Nation needs our Superpower.  Let’s turn on those lights like never before. עם ישראל חי
