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?

The AI Accelerator is blessed with leading entrepreneurs and researchers who WIN prizes and grants 🏆 Road2 Haifa would like to congratulate Firewave and its founder Evgeny (Jenia) Yurkovsky who has received a grant from the Israel Innovation Authority רשות החדשנות. We're very happy to see a founder receiving the well-desreved recognition from the Israeli Innovation Authority. It's a great opportunity to elaborate in short (-; on Firewave to make you see what the IIA knows now about the importance of adapting and improving resilience to forest fires. Wildfires, intensified by climate change and urban expansion into wildlands, pose a growing global threat. Wildfires in the US have become 2.5 times more prevalent compared to the 80's but our solutions haven't changed much since then. They cause hundreds of billions of dollars in annual damage, adversely affect human health, lead to species extinction, and significantly contribute to total CO2 emissions. From the perspective of our customers and users, particularly businesses like summer camps and resorts or communities which are located in Wildland-Urban Interface areas, utility companies and government agencies, wildfires represent a critical, immediate danger to safety, economics, property, and environmental sustainability. Firewave is a wildfire management solution through proactive early detection using an IoT / sound sensors network, leveraging cutting-edge technology to prevent minor fires from becoming catastrophic events. We wish you success in each and every milestone. Yaakov Diminsky Rami Gazit Shilo Ohayon #environment #safety #innovation
