If you’re looking for full time or freelance work, ask a favor from the people you most want to work for.
I’ve had a lot of calls from solopreneurs this week who are looking for contract and even full time work.
You could do worse
By starting out conversations
With future employers or clients
Than asking for a few minutes of their time
For some feedback.
It might be a zoom
Phone call
Or even to sign up for your email list.
See if this helps:
Start with your 1st-degree LinkedIn connections
Right away, you’ll see lots of faces
But more importantly
You’ll see lots of ideas
Of where you’d like to work next.
Then …
Start a direct message (DM)
With a little script:
Hey [FIRST NAME], I’m looking for a little feedback on my resume/portfolio/profile page to help me land a role as a [JOB TITLE].
Can we have a quick chat?
I’m here,
Kevin
