Description
In this episode, our hosts discuss some of the challenges that most people face when applying for a new job. Grey and DJ Sbu share their experiences and share tips on how to stand out from the rest of the applicants.   Although this channel preaches entrepreneurship and creating your side hustle, the reality is that most of us will have to get jobs at some point in our lives. So, the question is, how do you get a job right now in today’s market?  For every profession out there, there are thousands of graduates. Therefore, there are just as many applicants applying for the same job. How do you make your application stand out from the rest?  Being in the fortunate position of creating jobs, DJ Sbu and Grey share some of the things that they look out for when hiring people. The first mistake that most people make is to talk about themselves. Yes, you are qualified and have a degree. But your potential employer is trying to solve a problem. A great place to start would be how you can help them solve that problem.  Research the company that you are applying for, and list some of the ways you can help them become better in the future. Show them the potential employer how you can help them with your skills and knowledge - don’t just send scans of your qualifications. Tell a story about yourself - make yourself stand out from the rest of the applicants.  If you’re a recent university graduate we challenge you to write a compelling story about yourself and what problems you can solve without mentioning your specific degree.  #TheMoneyFinancePodcast #GreyJabesi #DjSbu Social Media https://themoney.finance/ https://www.facebook.com/themoneydotf... https://twitter.com/themoneyfinance https://www.instagram.com/themoney.fi... https://www.instagram.com/djsbulive​ https://www.instagram.com/greybtc DISCLAIMER – NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE The website cannot and does not contain financial, tax, investment, or legal advice.
