Ichi Telethon | Lift Up the Laid Off!

Barefoot Business

As I regale you with the rollercoaster ride of job hunting in the startup world, you'll discover that the path to employment is anything but straight. For four long months, I've been on the hunt, and in this heartfelt exchange, you'll hear from the likes of Becca, who skillfully turned a layoff into her dream role, and Rebecca, an events maven with a revolutionary approach to the elevator pitch, leveraging AI like ChatGPT. We delve into the contentious topic of interview work assignments, their fairness, and the debate around unpaid tasks. Alongside these discussions, we share an array of anecdotes from our virtual interview experiences, where dressing 'business on top, party on the bottom' has become the unofficial uniform, and we confess to the resume entries we adore too much to erase.
The camaraderie of the Job Hunting Club, with Sarah, Rebecca, Becca, and Bina, provides a backbone of support that's as strong as it is necessary during these trying times. In this segment, the spirit of collaboration comes alive, with our Slack channel dripping with job leads, resources, and pep talks. The anticipation for our forthcoming book-inspired meetups is palpable, promising to be the launchpad for resume polishing, interview rehearsals, and an endless stream of morale boosts. So, if you're ready to join a tribe where pursuing your next career chapter becomes a collective conquest, tune in and let's navigate these job-seeking jungles together.
