Be Weird
Yes, you want to make a good first impression with a company.
But that doesn’t mean following all the rules.
Be weird! Show your personality.
One hiring manager we spoke with agrees, saying,

How to Get Any Job You Want

“This is a real plan that’s based on the real rules of the game. You’ll learn how to effectively identify your future hiring manager, for example, and slide into their DMs in the least creepy way possible.”
She’s also got an awesome Tik-Tok. We love this one on how constraint breeds creativity.
