Hi everyone, 👋 I want to share something useful I learned from my Headstarter Fellowship: 𝙙𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙗𝙚 𝙖𝙛𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙙 𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙙 𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙨 𝙤𝙧 𝙢𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙨. ✉️ Cold emails can be incredibly valuable for expanding your network, gaining insights about a company or role, and opening doors to new opportunities. They demonstrate initiative and can help you stand out in a competitive job market. 🌟 You can use LinkedIn to find someone who attended your school and shares a common interest or background with you. Build rapport by highlighting these similarities in your message. 🎓🤝 Here's a quick example of how the message can look: --- 𝖧𝗂 [𝖭𝖺𝗆𝖾], 𝖨 𝗇𝗈𝗍𝗂𝖼𝖾𝖽 𝗐𝖾'𝗋𝖾 𝖻𝗈𝗍𝗁 [𝖸𝗈𝗎𝗋 𝖲𝖼𝗁𝗈𝗈𝗅] 𝖺𝗅𝗎𝗆𝗌, 𝖺𝗇𝖽 𝗒𝗈𝗎 𝗐𝖾𝗋𝖾 𝗂𝗇𝗏𝗈𝗅𝗏𝖾𝖽 𝗂𝗇 [𝖲𝗉𝖾𝖼𝗂𝖿𝗂𝖼 𝖢𝗅𝗎𝖻/𝖠𝖼𝗍𝗂𝗏𝗂𝗍𝗒] - 𝖨'𝗆 𝖼𝗎𝗋𝗋𝖾𝗇𝗍𝗅𝗒 𝖺𝖼𝗍𝗂𝗏𝖾 𝗂𝗇 𝗍𝗁𝖺𝗍 𝗍𝗈𝗈!

On November 1, 2024, I had the privilege of hosting our first event in the Unlock Success series—Insider Tips From Industry Experts—for this semester at San Jose State University. This transformative event was designed to equip students and early-career professionals with valuable insights into thriving in Silicon Valley! Here are some powerful takeaways from our incredible speakers: Jim Reynolds: Challenged us to rethink success beyond titles and accomplishments. True success aligns with personal values and brings others along with you. Building a reputation as someone "others want to work with" is a game-changer. Remember, success is a journey, not just a destination. Simon Ninan: A great resume doesn’t just list skills—it builds a story with purpose, impact, and confidence. With only seconds to make an impression, crafting a compelling resume can set you apart in a sea of applications. Preparation is key: success happens where preparation meets opportunity. Rony Joseph: Reminded us that our story is our greatest asset. Embrace a life filled with curiosity, define your vision, and "dig your well before you get thirsty." In Silicon Valley, it’s essential to bring a unique narrative and be ready to grow from every experience. A big thank you to our speakers for sharing their wisdom and inspiring us all, and a special shoutout to the incredible Kontagious volunteers for their hard work and dedication in making this event a great success. Here’s to unlocking more doors to success! 🔑 #Kontagious #UnlockSuccess #CareerGrowth #SiliconValleySuccess #Teamwork Kontagious San Jose State University

If the main door doesn't open, try the back door. And nooo, not the backdoor that you might be thinking of, my dearest South Africans! 😂👀 But the kind of backdoor that stands for trying out new things, pushing portfolio work, entrepreneurship, content creation, and being proactive beyond your current circumstances. It’s the door where we don’t just wait for opportunities; we create them ourselves. Sure, behind the main door, there’s the promise of stability, consistent income, benefits, and comfort. But here’s the truth about the main door: Only one person can walk through it at a time. What do I mean? → Submitting a CV and 'waiting 2 weeks' for feedback can sometimes turn into 4 years of unemployment and no income. → That promotion you've been eyeing might get postponed, leaving you feeling stuck and unfulfilled in your job. → Even a cum laude graduate might not get accepted into a master’s program on their first try, feeling like their career has hit a dead-end before it even begins. Basically, the “ladder” we all want to climb still exists, but it’s not there for everyone to climb. Make no mistake though, we will get to the top, and here’s how: Starting today, I’m committing to a 3-week content series inspired by Rosabeth Moss Kanter’s TED Talk: The Only 3 Career Steps That Matter: Inclusion - Getting in the door → Influence - Gaining a seat at the table → Impact - Making a difference outside the building. My goal is to equip hardworking early-career professionals with practical tools and insights on how to get in the door, become influential, and make a difference. I’ll also be connecting with various industry leaders in a segment I call #AskAPerson, where they will answer some of the thorny questions that tend to block our paths to success at different stages. It’s going to be interesting, ang'funi uk'ngasho. 😉 ♻️ Don’t forget to repost so that someone else can gain these tools too! #Linkedin #Connects #CareerCheerleader #CareerAcceleration
