Don’t look for a job, instead look for the person you can help.

There is a senior executive out there, a line manager who you can serve and solve problems for.

Get clarity around who this person could be. What kind of organization? Where do they sit? (LinkedIn is a great resource for this). * I’ve found smaller companies, less than 100 people easier to work with.

Now, reach out to them for a discovery conversation. See if your circles overlap.

Essentially, avoid the common trap of filling out job applications, hoping to pass the HR filter.
