Pitching Can Be Fun!
We talk a lot about pitching a company directly, instead of using a resume. It works way way way better.
But even if you won’t admit it to yourself, it’s possible that a part of you thinks that, well, creating a pitch is simply “too much work.”
Sure, yeah, it does take more effort than blasting a PDF resume.
But pitching can be super fun, too!
Lighten up! Be playful, curious, and experimental about landing a job.
Be like a little kid trying to build a sand castle. Does he see that as WORK?? No, yet he accomplishes something meaningful and constructive nonetheless.
Shoot a little video pitch and see what happens. Make a little project and see what happens. Email the hiring manager and see what happens.
Why not?
Career Karma
If you want to take a year and dive deep into a new skillset, check out the bootcamps that Career Karma showcases. Starting from scratch, you can learn tech sales, digital marketing, software engineering, and more.
(But remember, you don’t *have to* commit to a bootcamp to launch or relaunch your career. You can always learn your way in by building and creating small projects on your own).
