Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

A friend of mine is working at a leading financial services company with over 100k employees. 
He feels like he'd want to be part of something smaller, create more impact and help it grow rather than be just a part of the crowd.

Where should he start? How can he find the suitable people and jobs?

How does someone get into the startup culture?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

In my life I've seen many instances of friends getting jobs because of recommendations from their previous bosses or friends or colleagues from past companies. Or even from peers from meet-up groups.

So please share your stories.

How many of you landed your positions by referrals etc?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I mean its so hard to get a referral or is it just me? Basically,

1. Everyone on linkden is basically an influencer, though with a legit experience and ofcourse technical skills, its more like everyone is just there to flaunt and I practically see no one actually being helped or helping.

2. Only on a personal level, I guess having met them, do people take you seriously, that still is a low probability.

So my question is, if you were an average Joe in this job market, how would you approach people to have them actually land an interview let alone be selected?

Where do you guys get referrals from?

Especially in these times

Any job portal ?? Referral?? Contacting HRs??

What's helping you land a job?

DevOps Engineer

I have 3 years of experience in frontend. I usually look for jobs by creating profile on Naukri and expecting calls from recruiters. Also, I apply directly on company portals.

My question to the grapevine community is how should I find good companies?

What I usually do is search up great places to work list or top tech companies on G2. I also apply based on LinkedIn jobs / posts about openings and from Instahyre and Wellfound. Sometimes I do ask for referrals.

Is there any other ways to look up on good tech companies? What do other grapeviners do?

Job Search

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Whoever is looking for a change in Product, do you guys have preferred platforms apart from the careersites and Linkedin that generally give you good traction from recruiters?

Doing this for a survey to understand what channel would be more effective.

Where do you apply for jobs apart from Linkedin

Talent acquisition

I’m dumbfounded when the best piece of advice I hear is that its a numbers game and probability is supreme.
There’s got to be a strategy that one applies to shortlist from the ocean of offers out there.

- applying in the same domain as your current company?
- platform or regions where recruiters are more active?
- directly talking to freelance HMs and doing a deal?

If no hack, just share what worked for you? And how are you optimising the job searching?

Give me your best strategies for job hunting?

I would definitely like to know about a few more platforms or job boards that you guys may have found very useful aside from career pages of companies and linkedin.

what are the job platforms that helped u to get jobs/switch

Hey folks,

What methodology do you follow when you want to apply for a job?

Like is it cold mailing, career pages , stalking hr , Glassdoor, naukri , linkedin, etc.

Product Owner

Hey guys. I’ve been searching for jobs on LinkedIn for a while now, there’s either no response or a template rejection. Does job search through LinkedIn work or not?

If not, please suggest other effective ways- considering the market now and the layoff volumes. Thank you!

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

I will go first just for the kicks
.. and I know my battery is dying 😂 🤦‍♂️

Tell me you are looking for a job without telling me you are looking for job

Human resource

Context: 10.5 YOE, Marketing lead. I've been looking for a switch since September last year. I'd seen signs of maybe my role or the company itself folding very early and knew 'twas time to bolt. But it's not that easy. Back then - 1 year in a startup meant hey not bad, people still spoke to you and considered your profile. These days, they treat you like Ebola if you've not had your ass stuck in the same place for 3-5 years. 

Anyway, so the majority of my time searching for jobs was the shitty Easy Apply or IIMJOBS premium account route. Suprise suprise. It doesn't work. But hey I was still employed and not nearly as motivated as someone who's unemployed. 

Cut to layoffs: Got laid off with my whole team and a huge chunk of other leaders. My first layoff, felt hilariously like the last day of school. To the org's credit they gave us 3 month severance, leave encashments and extra months for those who'd been there for 2 years+. In hindsight hearing the horror stories of 2k severance from Byju's. I'm grateful for the nice golden parachute I got. I'll be honest, it contributed heavily to my mental stability. I had time, I had leverage, I didn't have to run for the first shitty opportunity that came my way. 

The How I did it (why you struggled through the above stream of consciousness) 

- Wrote to 159 founders with one pagers to 35 of them with ideas on how i'd lead their marketing function. 5 replies. 3 interviews. 2 offers - didn't take em cuz they were super early stage or diff cities. This is immediately in month 1 so I've already started feeling icky about not getting great brands to have in my set. 
- Easy Applied to 768 (I ran a Gmail search, this is a real number) jobs. 99% no responses or you've been rejected. 
-Kept changing one letter on my Naukri.com profile, got me 6 calls, 3 interviews and 1 conversion 

I think theres a word limit to posts 🥲 following up as comments below.

Finally got a job (here's the do's and dont's)

Brand marketing manager

Today, I was thinking about an employee referral email I received from HR, HeyCoach. It made me reflect on how things have changed. Before, as regular people, we often didn't know about job openings or how to apply because they were filled through employee referrals. It makes me wonder how the job search process has evolved. Do you think it's easier now with job sites? Share your thoughts in the comments!

Do Job sites help Real Talents get Jobs at Top MNCs?

Looking for recommendations where HR's reply is faster/processing of application is faster.

What platforms are you using to apply for jobs?

Lead Designer

My contract was terminated last month citing restructuring.
Honestly, I saw it coming but wasn't expecting it would hit like this

I tried keeping my mind distracted, but now it has started to sink

I live with parents and they aren't saying anything (they were feeding me before and still are, no change for them)

I have had thoughts of ending all this, but do not have the courage. What if it ends halfway and I am redundant my whole life?

Credit card bills are coming through now and being 42% of my ex-salary wasn't something I was prepared for. I thought I was a sane spender.

How did you tackle being laid off?
