How to Land Your Next Job Fast (and Layoff Proof Yourself for Life)

I've survived 5 layoffs in the last 3 years.

After the 4th layoff I survived, I did a webinar for my friends on what worked for me when I needed to find a new role fast.

This video helped at least 2 of them land jobs before their severance ran out.

Here's what's in the video:

An easy, repeatable process that can land you interviews for the jobs you've always wanted.

When I first got out of the Navy, I had no idea what I wanted to do next.

• I didn't know what roles I would be a good fit for.
• I didn't know what company culture really meant.
• I didn't know where to start.

After months of job fairs, hundreds of application submissions and too many resume rewrites, I tried a different way to use LinkedIn.

I started reaching out to people for advice... and was shocked when they started replying back to help me!

Since then, I've gotten every job I've had through virtual networking on LinkedIn.

And most recently, I networked heavily for 60 days...

...had 62 zoom chats and 27 interviews...

... and ended up with 4 offers to pick from.

But when I first started virtual networking, I had lots of starts and stops and mis-steps.

I was afraid of hitting the send button on connection requests and messages.

So I created a repeatable system with easy-to-follow processes.

This system helped me:

1. Get in front of hiring managers
2. Pivot into new industries
3. Find the right roles and companies
4. Get higher level positions in new companies
5. Explain how my military and other experience was a benefit in this new industry

And here's what's crazy:

• This isn't rocket science. You can start doing it today.
• You only need the time it would have taken us to grab coffee.
• There are no crazy long videos you'll never actually watch.
• It is NOT just another “how to” book on writing your resume.
• It is NOT about getting more LinkedIn connections - yet these secrets will help you to get a lot MORE great connections than ever before.

Cost: free (unless you want to give me a tip and buy me a coffee)

Time: about as long as it would take us to drink that coffee

Value: priceless

The 7 Strategies I Used to Land 4 Offers in 60 Days

Learn the exact virtual networking system I used to pivot into tech without taking a step back in my career!

This course shortcuts all the hard things I learned along the way.

Here’s some of what you'll learn:

1. 🎤 How to build a network in your target industry that recognizes your value (and will get you interviews)

There are a lot of people that have forged the way into where you want to go that have things in common with you (e.g., military, undergrad, interests, etc.). And they want to help you! Learn how to find and connect with them.

2. 🧐 2 easy questions to ask everyone you network with that will land you job interviews even when you can’t get through the resume screeners

Different industries use different job names (especially the military!). Resume screening software and recruiters can’t see your value. Learn how to skip the screeners and get straight to the interview.

3. 🤯 The number 1 problem with LinkedIn profiles and how to get past it

LinkedIn is your go-to place for finding a job and connecting with people. Create a profile that makes recruiters reach out to you instead of the other way around.

4. ✍️ Re-program how you explain your experience to crush every interview

We may use different vocabulary and have unique experiences. Learn how to tell your story in a way your target industry understands.

5. 💼 Sort through the noise and target the companies and industries that are right for you

From startup to multi-national corporation and everything in between. We all have different preferences and goals. Learn how to find the company, size and culture that are right for you.

6. ⚾️ Understand the 4 elements of an elevator pitch that get people thinking about you when new opportunities come up

People remember only a limited amount of information. Learn the 5 steps to creating an elevator pitch that you can customize for any situation.

7. 📝 Rewrite your resume so it makes you shine instead of just being full of useless text

More is not better. Most resumes only get 6 seconds to make an impact. Make sure your value stands out immediately.

What others are saying...

Who this Course is For

• Anyone laid off (especially relevant if you've been laid off in the tech industry or are trying to pivot into it)
• My Naval Academy classmates that are finally retiring from the military
• Any military veteran starting their transition
• Military vets that have been in the civilian world but are ready to get a higher or different role
• Anyone that is making a big career pivot and needs help making it smoothly
• Anyone that has considered networking but doesn't know how to get started
• Anyone that has a "non-traditional" background and needs help making it fit into the career they want to build

Why Now?

The world has gone virtual. You can now network with the RIGHT people quickly. No more going to networking events to talk to a handful of the WRONG people.

Now you can target and meet on LinkedIn, and set up a quick Zoom chat.

This course gives you the system and strategies to capitalize on this virtual world so you can land your dream job.

The "Do It Yourself" Trap

When I started networking, I decided not to buy any books, courses, consultations, or subscriptions.

I was sure that I could do it myself, and I was convinced that this was my best option.

Ends up, I did eventually get results.

The problem was, it took me years get any traction at all and over a year to become a legitimate success story.

What I realized was this...

• Buying education is only partially about discovering knowledge.
• The other benefit is saving the 20 hours you'll spend on research.
• And more importantly, the 6-18 months you might waste following a bad plan.

Ask yourself...

• How much is an hour of your time worth?
• How much will it cost if you waste 20, 100, or 1,000 hours?
• How much are you willing to invest to avoid this "do it yourself" trap?

I really don't want you to waste all that time on trial and error, like I did.

If you don't either, then this course bundle is the perfect resource.

Your Life After this Course...

• Always be 60 days from your next job or career (things are crazy these days!)
• Have a network you tap into regularly to learn and grow
• Help others transition into your industry
• Have fast access to great people when it's your time to hire
• Find mentors and mentees that can make a big impact on your life

It's Time To Make a Decision

But think about this:

• Getting the right job will free you of a lot of stress.
• My video will help you avoid mistakes and level up faster than you ever could on your own.

More importantly, think about:

• How much time you'll waste with bad plans.
• How you'll feel if you don't take control of your job search for another week, month, or year.

So, what are you waiting for?

Click "I want this!" and let’s get to work.

Disclaimer: I do not guarantee that you will see the same kind of success that I did. That will rely on personal effort, the state of the economy, and many other factors.

About the author

Hi! 👋

I'm Kathy, a product strategy expert in the tech industry.

I've worked at Facebook and 2 tech startups. I’m a TechStars mentor and a keynote speaker.

But I started my career as a Navy bomb technician 💣 with an Aerospace Engineering degree 🚀 from the Naval Academy ⚓️.

Getting ready to blow some things up in my early career

A couple of important things about me (and why I created this course):

👉 I’ve never had my resume picked out of the submission pile.

👉 Every job I’ve landed has been because of networking.

And now, as someone that has been helped along the way in my career by other military veterans that came before me, I turned my method of networking and interviewing into a consistent, repeatable process.

So if you’re just getting out of the military or looking to pivot into a new industry, buy me a coffee (the insanely low price of this course) and go get your dream job!
