Job Board Algorithms: Are You Trapped by Them?
Job Board Algorithms: Are You Trapped by Them?
Have you given up control and let them trap you?
Here’s how to know.
If you answer yes to:
- working really hard on the job search, applying to everything online, and that’s all you do
- not consistently getting interviews
- hearing “not hire international students” all the time.
- feel frustrated
- don’t have coffee chats on a regular basis
- dream company lists not guiding your actions
Then you know you are trapped.
At any time, you can shift to:
- get speaking to your dream companies
- get consistent engagement from dream firms
- experience growth in confidence, even enjoy the process
- come out from this process with a great offer

Job Search: Strategy to Consider and Force of Effort
If you are looking for a job and you spend 30 min per day looking for a job...you will continue to be looking for a job. There’s job search strategy to consider, and then there is also the issue of the basic force of effort.
I held this friend to a higher standard of himself and he did eventually put in the work and get a great job.
Watch yourself and if you see yourself falling into a rut, pull out or have friends who can help you.
As my teacher says: self-discipline is doing something even when you don’t want to do it.
Calling All International Students
I used to be an international student and it was complicated.
Online applications were tough. It used to be the case that "not hearing back" was the biggest issue but now it seems like from every angle and direction all this negative news about how hard it is for international students to get hired... it's like employers are playing games with us.
But, dear international student... stay engaged keep going, find a mentor to help you get hired. Stay engaged, keep going because I want you to be happy.

Hopeful for 2019: Poetry from Tru Vu
“Because eyes see the blue sky,
Eyes glisten sky blue.
Because eyes see the vast ocean,
Eyes extend as far as the sea.”
When you contemplate 2019 and your own professional development, or the talent you want for your team, what do your eyes see?
Do your eyes glisten sky blue?
If you look out onto 2019, you will see yourself.
Hiring managers calling you about the offer they just gave you...a great team coming together to tackle enterprise goals...see that in yourself. Because you see that, offers come, teams are built.
Let's Grab a Coffee in Jan?
Fortune 50 campus recruiter (personally hires 200 people / yr): “If there was one thing I could tell folks, it would be to not just network with me when you want something. Network with me when I am really bored.”
That’s how I’m approaching things with the reindeer.
