That's the number of data science interviews Jaret had within my first 3 months after graduating and implementing this strategy ...
With several mentees securing their next position in as little as 2 weeks, 3.5 weeks, 4 weeks and Jaret landed his in 6 weeks. We take pride in the fact that 48% of our mentees landed job offers before completing their 3-month mentorship. But even if you don't land your job within the initial 3 months, we work with you until you do.
When you enroll in our mentorship, you can expect to achieve an average salary of $94.1k, surpassing industry standards. Multiple mentees have received offers exceeding $150,000 with our cumulative success in negotiating raises exceeds an impressive $350,000
Jaret has helped me so much in the short time we worked together. I could tell he really cared about my needs and my goals. Jaret is very well organized and has a structured plan for approaching the job search and helped me feel more confident in interviews in just a couple of weeks and broke into the industry with a $95k+ base salary business Intelligence Analyst role in just 3 weeks!
If you are looking for a sign to guide you to the right mentor this is it! Choose Jaret! He Rocks!
After completing my master's degree, I struggled to secure interviews. Four months after graduating, I sought guidance from Jaret. Despite my two years of experience as a System Engineer, Jaret helped me recognize that I had engaged in data analysis during my previous job, which I had not fully acknowledged.
Jaret played a crucial role in optimizing my portfolio, building habits, creating portfolio projects, negotiating, and improving interviewing. However, the most significant impact was assisting me with networking skills and establishing a consistent routine for engaging in these activities for this and all future job searches. Before this mentorship, I only applied online and messaged people in my current network, but Jaret taught me many different methods to land interviews and even offers.
Thanks to Jaret's guidance, I was well-prepared for my first interview and successfully landed a position as a Data Engineer for $94k. Even after landing my next role, Jaret wants to help me reach my next goals in life. I am excited to start working towards them!

I have 2+ years of work experience in Data Science in India and I have a master’s degree in computer engineering. During the end of my final term, I started applying to many companies and got very few interview calls. I applied to 250+ companies and got 6 interviews and couldn’t convert these interviews into a job offer. I was looking for a different strategy and I sought out Jaret’s help.
Jaret is very systematic and has created a step-by-step process to improve our profile and optimize my online presence. He also helps with creating daily habits. The most important thing about Jaret’s mentorship is he teaches how to do things. “If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.” His modules on self-reflection, optimizing LinkedIn profiles and designing yourself as a product are standouts and very helpful. These modules clearly change your perception and help you to showcase your skills and talents to recruiters in a convincing way. These things helped me a lot and I started getting more interviews. He also suggests various job search strategies which are much better than the traditional online application process. After implementing these changes, I started getting more interviews (recruiters started reaching out to me on LinkedIn) and within 1 month, I got 3 offers (Data Scientist x2 and Machine Learning Engineer).
I highly recommend Jaret’s mentorship.
Data Scientist @ Loblaw
When I first started looking for my data science jobs I had NO idea what I
was doing, I was probably a lot like you are right now...
❌ Spending hours each day looking at job boards and sending applications
❌ Constantly adding skills and tools to my to-do list of “requirements” to
learn before I could break into the industry
❌ Trying to learn multiple new skills/tools simultaneously
❌ Sending out hundreds of applications and had nothing to show for it
❌ Taking several online courses and certificates
❌ Taking to every data scientist in the field looking for advice
❌ Wasting tons of time searching for jobs
Doing basically everything WRONG...
Before I found Jaret, I tried to teach myself by purchasing courses from Coursera, edX, Udacity, and DataCamp. Unfortunately, I kept falling off the courses and getting discouraged. This went on for six months until I realized that I needed a change.
Jaret not only kept me accountable for my learning, which was my main concern, but he also helped me manage my time better, gain confidence, update my resume/cover letters/LinkedIn profile, apply to jobs that I would not have applied to, create a GitHub page (which I was hesitant about), and build a data science project.
Before working with Jaret, I believed that I needed to create an impressive project to become a data scientist. However, Jaret taught me to use my existing strengths to become a data scientist EVEN BEFORE WE FINISHED THE PROJECT TOGETHER! Save yourself time and get Jaret's help to market yourself as you gain more skills. Thanks to Jaret's mentorship, I was able to gain confidence and maximize my opportunities by converting 1 of 3 interviews into a Data (Forensic) Scientist offer for $95k+ base salary.
Overall, my experience with Jaret has been invaluable, and I would recommend him to anyone willing to put in the work to achieve their dreams.

Your Data Job Search Coach
As someone who's been in your shoes, I know exactly how it feels to question your place in the data science world. I remember the nights I spent tossing and turning, wondering if I was cut out for this industry. The rejections piled up, and with each one, my self-doubt grew.
I've felt that gnawing loneliness, the stress that comes with every unanswered application, and yes, even the creeping depression that whispers, "Maybe you're just not good enough."
I've been there, staring at job descriptions, thinking, "Why won't anyone take a chance on me?" I've even caught myself scrolling through online courses, convinced that just one more certification would finally make me "qualified enough."
If any of this resonates with you, I want you to know two things:
You're not alone. These feelings are far more common in our field than most people realize.
There's hope, and it doesn't involve going back to school or sending out hundreds more unanswered applications.
I've discovered a different path - one that transformed my career and has since helped countless others break into their dream data science roles. If you're ready to try a new approach, one that puts you in the driver's seat of your career, then let's talk.
After you land your next job, then what?
I don't just want to help you in your career but how to shift your mindset, gain confidence so you can persistently and consistently tackle any goal in life.
Remember it's not your job title, the company you work for or your salary that makes you special and unique, it's you.
Before I started working with Jaret, I had multiple hurdles I needed to overcome: I wasn't taking time to practice and improve my skills, my resume was not convincing recruiters to speak with me, and I didn't know what I needed to highlight to land a data science role. Jaret's experience and advice have allowed me to take all three of these weaknesses and make them strengths.
Jaret was also able to show me how to showcase the qualifications I've already attained which put me in an entirely new market I did not know I was qualified for. Jaret's expertise has helped me greatly with not only improving how I work as a data scientist and how I search for roles, it has actually had an impact on my job hunt.
In less than a month of working with Jaret and listening to his advice, I was able to land a great role in FAANG by going through the non-traditional approach, that has dramatically improved my career trajectory. I'm incredibly glad I had Jaret to work with throughout this experience, as he allowed me to level up my habits, my content, and my perspective on the job market.
If you're hitting a hurdle in your data science journey or are overwhelmed about getting started, I highly suggest you reach out to Jaret and schedule some time to chat with him. It's the best decision I've made in my career.

Kushagra Luthra
Before working with Jaret, I had tons of issues with people taking a look at my resume or download it and certainly not getting any interviews. After working with Jaret, and having wonderful one on one calls and a very clear curriculum to follow, FINALLY LANDED A NEW JOB! I immediately started getting downloads. I went from 0 a month, to 1, to about 10 in the first month after I had updated my resume.
Zachary Wilkins
This opportunity unexpectedly evolved into a marketing data scientist role offer. The hands-on modules and tailored networking strategies not only prepared me to excel in interviews but also gave me lifelong skills to navigate career transitions with confidence. Within just two months, I went from one interview a month to landing a role that perfectly aligns with my career goals. I couldn't recommend Jared and the Data Ship program more highly!
Dagart Allison
It was also great having the accountability of your coaches whenever you need to do activities that push you out of your comfort zone. This resulted in me landing a
$122k+ Remote (Mortgage) Data Scientist role in 3 months, exactly what new niche was.
Hunter Lonon
Feeling lost post-graduation, meeting Jared was a turning point. He helped me improve myself, identify weaknesses, and turn them into strengths, ultimately assisting me in securing a job through portfolio building.
Mireille Nehme
During our time together, Jaret was instrumental in not only sharpening my data science skills but also in guiding me through the complex job market, leading to multiple job interviews and the successful acquisition of a position that allows me to transition into something new.
His structured program was thoughtfully designed to challenge and grow my analytical capabilities. His adept use of the Socratic method ensured that I was not simply fed information, but rather taught to think critically and independently, a skillset invaluable in data.
Beyond his technical acumen, Jaret's personal qualities were paramount to our sessions. His encouragement and positive reinforcement fostered an environment ripe for learning and personal development. He has an innate ability to instill confidence and motivation, which was crucial during the rigorous job application process.
When compared to other professionals in the field, Jaret stands out. His structured approach, paired with his supportive nature, sets him apart from his peers. While many can teach data science, few can mentor and elevate a student's abilities as effectively as Jaret does.
It was a fantastic decision to work with Jaret and DataShip. I saw immediate traffic to my LinkedIn from recruiters, quantifiable improvements to my resume, and increased the rate of interviews I was getting. I also got incredible insights into understanding how to market my business, not just myself. The wealth of materials and the 1-on-1 calls both are tops for me.
I first found DataShip looking to improve on my MLOps skills so that I could find a new job. They recognized that my problem wasn't really skill-based, but marketing-based. They improved my resume, gave me tools to better track my effectiveness, and helped me build networking plans to increase my job search effectiveness. After trying to leave for many years, I've finally found a new job that I'm proud of. I highly recommend DataShip for learning Data Science skills, but it's the marketing (self and my own company) that truly made this an outstanding experience. It has been a massive load off my back to find a new job.
My name is Syed Atif, I am a recent graduate with 1-year experience in Software Engineering During who built an interest in this field and wanted to pursue my career in Data Science / Machine Learning.
As a beginner, I had no idea how and where to start learning and get a job in this field, I used to watch YouTube videos and ask for suggestions but none of those helped me as it put me into a more confused state and struggled to get a job.
I started following hashtag pages regarding data analysis and data science and I used to reach out to people, luckily one day I liked Jaret’s post on Instagram related to Data Science and he texted me asking what attracted me to liking his post. After a chat, I explained my situation and he offered to help me out by plotting a roadmap and land a job in data science with the right skill set and approach.
Not only did Jaret help me out in guiding towards data science but always used to listen to my problems, motivate and inspire me and always encouraged me not to give up, he is really an awesome person who understood me. Jaret changed my mindset and built my confidence to attract jobs.
I got an offer as a Data Science consultant even before completing the mentorship, and that was really unexpected.
For those who are trying to get into the Machine Learning / Data Science field, I highly recommend getting mentorship from Jaret as he is one of the best, plus this is not just a normal mentorship of getting a job. This mentorship will also help one in changing their mindset, help in critical thinking, and build one’s self-confidence.
I have really no words to thank Jaret for his support during this journey and I will still be continuing this mentorship as it adds more value.
I am in the data analytics industry working as a senior data analyst. Having had been a data analyst for approximately 4 years prior to the mentorship, I felt that a data scientist position would be the natural progression for my career, and I felt that I really struggled with creating a well balanced learning plan that involved theory and practice to further my qualifications and skillset.
So I reached out to Jaret and started my mentorship journey with the goal of working on an end to end data science project to boost my skills and then land a job in data science.Over the course of our mentorship, going through all of our modules and understanding how to build habits and create project roadmaps among other things, I think one of the most important things that I learned was actually to self-reflect.
Due to having more mental clarity, I realized that the most important thing wasn't for me to jump into a data science position necessarily, as I felt fulfilled doing what I do as a data analyst. I came to realize that my current company actually checks off a majority of the boxes that I would have in a must-have list of employers, an exercise which I did with Jaret.
Knowing this, I realized I can improve as a data scientist within the company as well, now being more involved in ML projects. I realized that my thought process was too focused on the destination rather than the process, the destination being a data scientist, meanwhile not realizing that beginning to take actions that align with being a data scientist in the present will be what actually makes you a data scientist regardless of what your job title says.
Today I am much more confident in who I am and what I can achieve, I know that I am already a data scientist and it is something I work on every single day. I define what success means to me, I define what my rich life looks like. This is all thanks to DataShip
My job hunting situation is a bit unique. After 12 years of working as a biologist, I switched to data science. I did not have a technical degree. I had only completed a machine learning bootcamp and fortunately, I had about 3 years of experience working as a Data Analyst or a Data Scientist.
For about 6 months I was applying for data roles. I was getting about one interview every month through recruiters, but they were mostly for biology related data roles. I was not getting the offer because all of my data experience was in marketing and website product. But when I applied for marketing data roles, I did not get any interviews because my resume and linkedin looked like a biologist. I turned to Jaret at DataShip and the program helped me refine my resume and start to prioritize networking.
Since I wasn’t getting interviews through cold applications, I needed a strong reference to get an interview. After two months of doing the modules in the program,I landed a $115k+ Remote Data Scientist role that allows me to pick up my child from school everyday.
It was really because of DataShip and networking that I got this opportunity. As well, the mock interviews with Jaret really helped me fine-tune my message and see where I could improve. It was really crucial and valuable.The plan outlined in the program is really thorough and thoughtful. It addresses so many aspects of the job search and gives clear action steps.
It not only gave me the tools for getting this job, but I really feel confident that I can use these tools while I have my current role to have offers come to me and future proof my career.
Before I started with Dataship, my job hunt felt hopeless. I knew I should be doing some combination of applying, upskilling, and networking, but the sheer number of options in front of me gave me decision paralysis. I wasn’t sure where to begin.
It was such a relief when I finally started the program and saw a clear roadmap of what to do. No longer did I have to try to figure it out on my own, the planning had already been done for me. I was able to slowly develop job hunting habits each day to maximize my chances of landing an offer.
"It was also great having the accountability of your coaches whenever you need to do activities that push you out of your comfort zone. This resulted in me landing a $122k+ Remote (Mortgage) Data Scientist role in 3 months, exactly what new niche was."
I highly recommend joining up with the program if any of what I said resonated with you. The job market is rough, but I promise you if you join and do the program, you will differentiate yourself from 99% of the other job seekers out there by niching yourself and building your personal brand to maximize your chances of landing a role.
In 2022, I joined the DataShip program as a mentee, seeking to transition into a full-time role in the data science domain. At the time, I had some experience with Excel through my finance background but wanted to strengthen my technical skills and prepare for a core data role.
Working with Jaret was a turning point. His wealth of experience in data science helped me define clear goals, identify skill gaps, and create a structured plan to address them. We focused on building foundational skills in SQL, Python, and other tools while developing an industry-level machine learning project, which became a key highlight on my resume.
Jaret’s mentorship went beyond technical skills. We worked on my resume, portfolio, networking, and job search strategies. Regular biweekly calls helped track progress, improve my interview skills, and maintain focus. He also provided critical support during low moments, keeping me motivated and disciplined. Despite a tough job market, I consistently secured 2-3 interviews per month, which reinforced the effectiveness of our approach.
Ultimately, I achieved my goal of landing a full-time role, and I owe a significant part of my success to Jaret’s guidance. In summary, this resulted in :
• Personalized coaching in structuring my job search
• Building a professional resume and portfolio
• Mock interviews and contract negotiation
• Motivation to keep me going when I was low
• Jan 2023 Landed a 9 month Business Analyst Internship
• Sep 2023 Landed a 1 year Data Analyst Internship
• Nov 2024 Landed a $83k Data Analyst Role
I highly recommend Jaret for anyone looking to break into data science. His mentorship truly made a difference in my journey.

As someone who has always been eager to grow and learn, I found myself facing a significant challenge that seemed insurmountable on my own. Thankfully, I had the incredible opportunity to work with an exceptional mentors Jaret and Elliot at DataShip, who turned my life around in ways I could never have imagined.
Before I began this mentorship journey, I was struggling finding a job in Data science. Every attempt I made to tackle the problem left me feeling frustrated and disheartened. Despite my determination, progress seemed out of reach, and I was on the verge of giving up.
Then, I found Jaret, who provided the perfect blend of guidance and support. His insightful approach not only addressed the core of my problem but also took the time to understand how I felt about it. This empathy and understanding were crucial in creating a safe and encouraging environment for me to explore and grow.
What set this mentorship apart from previous attempts to solve my problem was the personalized attention and expertise that was offered. Unlike self-help resources or generic tutorials, Jaret Targeted your unique needs and your mindset attitude, allowing me to gain confidence throughout the journey.
I distinctly remember the moment when everything clicked during the mentorship. It was like a light bulb moment when I finally grasped the intricacies of the skill I was trying to master. Jaret and Elliot's guidance played a vital role in breaking down complex concepts into easily digestible steps, making the learning process enjoyable and effective.
Since then, my life has taken a complete turn for the better. I can confidently say that I have mastered the skill that once seemed unattainable. Not only did my newfound expertise open doors for professional opportunities including landing a Data Analyst role, but it also positively impacted my personal life. I feel a sense of accomplishment and empowerment that has spilled over into various aspects of my daily routine.
Moreover, this mentorship was more than just learning a skill; it was a transformative experience. Jaret's wisdom and encouragement shifted my mindset, bolstering my confidence and altering my perception of challenges. I now embrace obstacles as opportunities for growth, knowing that with the right guidance, I can overcome any hurdle.
I am immensely grateful for the time I spent with my mentors, and I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking guidance and growth. They are not only knowledgeable and skilled but also compassionate and dedicated to their mentees' success.
In conclusion, this mentorship has been a life-changing journey that has shaped me into a more capable, confident, and resilient individual. Thank you for being an instrumental part of my transformation!
Data Analyst / Scientist
Jaret was incredibly helpful for me in finding my first industry position. I jumped into job searching but wasn't very successful and then based on a friend’s recommendation, I didn’t have much experience to show, so having a strong mindset and direction to follow was key. Jaret helped me with this and also provided the mental guidance I needed to stay on track for my goals. Based on Jaret’s advice I spent the optimal time each day applying for jobs, practicing for interviews and optimizing my profile (Resume, cover letter, LinkedIn and GitHub). This all helped immensely since a week after I began the mentorship with my new profile, I got a great offer! I would most definitely recommend Jaret for anyone who is unfamiliar with how to enter the workforce with no relevant experience.
Software Engineer
When I first graduated from a Data Analytics Bootcamp, I thought landing a job would be relatively easy. However, I soon came to realize that the Bootcamp, while valuable, hadn't prepared me for the well competitive job market. I found myself lost jumping from one course to another, trying to upskill in various areas without a clear plan in mind. Feeling that I am not job-ready was awful!
My decision to seek guidance from Jaret was a turning point in my journey. If you're in search for a mentor, I can confidently say that your search must ends here.
This mentorship provided me with detailed modules and a structured framework of specific weekly tasks. This approach not only helped me organize my time effectively but also empowered me to work efficiently toward my career goals, all while ensuring that I prioritized my physical and mental well-being.
One of the most invaluable lessons I learned from Jaret is to "Fall in love with the journey, not the destination". This shift in perspective had a profound impact on my mindset. Thanks to this mentorship and Jaret's constant support, I not only regained my confidence but also excelled in my interviews, even though I used to struggle with talking about myself.
Furthermore, this mentorship encouraged me to build an end-to-end project. While working on this project, I received continuous feedback and guidance from Elliot, who possesses exceptional intelligence and extensive experience in the field of data. Collaborating with him is a privilege and I am so grateful for this opportunity.
In a summary, I highly recommend working with Jaret. I had interacted with several mentors before finding him, and I am happy I made this choice. Jaret is not only exceptionally smart and knowledgeable, but he's also incredibly supportive and dedicated to helping his mentees succeed.
I needed help developing a confident mindset and concrete action steps for my post-graduation job search. Jaret's insights, guidance, and unwavering encouragement helped me develop the mindset and game plan I was looking for. Today, I feel much more confident in self-promoting my skills, abilities, and experience. I also have a concrete habit and general development roadmap to get me to my new position. I would recommend Jaret to anyone who is looking for a knowledgeable mentor and a steadfast advocate.
When I first found Jared 's profile, I was going through everything that he described. I felt scattered, unsure of how to crack into my next career, and not sure how to proceed. I was getting interview opportunities but not able to land anything. I scheduled a one-off meeting with Jaret, which was only supposed to be 60 minutes, but he took additional time to help me get on a focused program involving a schedule of daily technical practice, great sources to research, and some interview practice modules. I recommend working with Jaret if you're a bit lost in not knowing how to efficiently spend your time during your job hunt. He'll get you back on track.
The meeting was about us talking about our goals and what we need to achieve them. We talked a lot about mental health being a hurdle for us achieving them. We settled on some daily practices to help improve my mental health, and how this will directly help me achieve my goal. My overall impression was very positive. We stayed with the mindset of achieving our goals, while also allowing some freedom to talk in-depth about mental hurdles. Jaret is able to help with more than just technical skills - he provided me with specific practices to help me improve my mental well-being and pointed me to how this would directly serve my goals.
Jaret is kind, thoughtful and generous in giving help. He is not only an experienced Data scientist but also has expertise in career coaching motivation. I was confused about my career path and wanted to know more about being a Data Scientist and Data Analyst.
After I worked with Jaret, I learned more from his experiences and gained insights into how to break into the analytics industry. Jaret provided guidance and tips for my interview progress including a take-home assessment that helped me to tell a story with the data.
It helped me position myself more clearly with confidence. I am very grateful for his guidance. I recommend him to anyone who needs a career mentor.
First meeting with Jaret went superbly. He's very much on top of things in terms of organization and explaining matters; Jaret clarified some concerns I had about certain issues (HackerRank). He also counselled me on the right attitude/mindset I need to adopt in order to succeed both in the job search and the industry. In addition, he allayed my qualms about issues I was having with certain platforms. Going forward with a clearer picture of what to do, and how. Allons-y!
It was great to talk to Jaret who not only had lots of ideas on how to create a study plan but also gave me much valuable feedback regarding my mindset for a sustainable way to reach my goals. He was easy to talk to and was very engaged, you can tell directly that he really takes his mentoring seriously. Can very much recommend him!
The meeting was about formulating my networking strategies and setting expectations for next week. I do think I needed this meeting as I now have some strategies in mind for networking.
Jaret was very patient and thoroughly explained the process.
My first meeting with Jaret was great. I know I will learn a lot from him. Excited about the next meetings.
It was very good. I had a good discussion with Jaret on the process and next steps.
Just into Week 2 of Jaret's Mentorship, there is a difference already. The program comes with weekly modules to keep you oriented, challenged and motivated each morning, leaving you feeling you're one step closer to the goal of breaking into Data Science.
Jaret is very methodical in his approach and has laid a clear plan on how to go about the job search. His modules on selling yourself as a product helped me to focus on my strengths and how to portray myself to employers. I have been underselling myself in my previous interviews and I realized it after finishing this module. I'm looking forward to the future modules and getting a job as soon as possible.
There were a lot of helpful resources! What I specifically found helpful is how to write any issues or problems first and then start building on the solution with it. The SWOT resources and time management module was great!
I learned that goal setting and roadmap planning is an involved, iterative process. It's certainly not easy to plan it out, but it's a worthwhile endeavor. Simply doing things with no direction is pointless. I also learned that habits are the cornerstone of what we do every single day. Everyone has good and bad habits, and they ultimately make us who and what we become in the long run. Shifting small habits to more positive ones can make a huge difference down the road. Definitely relevant and I'm glad there's a lot of time spent on goal setting.
I learned a ton about my motivations and some of the biases and fears holding me back. I learned about how to build a personal roadmap which is incredibly helpful. This was a very moving module for me. It forced me to acknowledge why I'm not where I want to be (technically as a data scientist and emotionally as a candidate). This was a very moving module for me. It forced me to acknowledge why I'm not where I want to be (technically as a data scientist and emotionally as a candidate).
This module really opened me up to think about myself creatively and gave me opportunities to improve. This module had many takeaways to be implemented in life. I think we all know answers to a lot of things but lack in implementing those when it comes to ourselves.
I learnt about the importance of time management, cultivating good habits and getting rid of some habits. This module helped me analyze my strengths and weaknesses. It also helped me have a clear vision of my goals. It was a good module!
I learned the type of industry I want to work in and how to brainstorm projects based on that type of industry. Overall the module was very helpful to go deep into project planning.
I learned a lot, from the phases of the project to the APIs I can use for data collection. Just in general, I've developed a greater mindset for project planning. It made me realize that there are various skills that I need to upskill right now. I'm looking forward to working on the project, especially for a project that I'm passionate about!
I have learned the importance of understanding and articulating my strengths, weaknesses, goals, values, and the qualities that make me a unique and valuable candidate. I have also realized the significance of aligning my skills, experiences, and aspirations with the needs and values of potential employers. Additionally, I have gained insights into effectively summarizing my background, expertise, and the value I bring as a data scientist in a concise and compelling manner. This process has enabled me to identify my ideal buyer and the factors that are most important to me in my next position, guiding me in evaluating potential employers and finding the best fit for my professional growth and fulfillment.
This module taught me in order to get as many matches for a job as I need to align my views and thinking with the viewpoints of HR/employees and then sell myself as a product to them in order to them to notice my values. This module was crucial as LinkedIn, resume, and cover letter are basics for job search. It helped me improve in this area as I was lacking a lot. It was a good model to push my potential and helped me to showcase my talent to the world.
I learned how important it is to sell yourself as you are. Every person is unique, and the people who are reviewing your applications are humans. Sell your personal strengths and don't be afraid to be different. Finding a niche where you'll thrive is better than fitting into an environment that is normal but average. Very helpful module! The reality is you are selling yourself at EVERY part of the process.
I learned how to optimize my Linkedin, Resume, GitHub, and Cover Letters. I also was able to “product-ize” the value I bring to employers. This was all incredibly useful.
I learned how to make a catchy LinkedIn account and what people search and do on LinkedIn and what I can do. This one is the most important module as I think and I was lacking this the most. LinkedIn resume parts are really helpful!
I learned how to optimize LinkedIn-Resume-GitHub and Cover letter. Before this module, I thought I have a good LinkedIn, Resume and Cover Letter. They are way better now and they still need more optimization.
This module is a great help to improve professional communication. Especially for an ambivert person like me. I am learning that for the necessary networking I don't have to be an extrovert as I have the guideline I can follow, thinking it a part of the job. Valuable networking tips and how to apply to companies.
The module was very informative on how to approach networking from scratch on LinkedIn and gives great examples that we mentees could easily implement. I couldn't find anything that I didn't like in the module so far! This was a really helpful module. I find it gives a real confidence boost in showing that there's no need to be intimidated when trying to network and that opportunities will come and go, you just have to stick with it and be consistent.
I learned networking is an important part of the job search process and there are many approaches that I can use to find a job. The most effective ones include reaching out directly to hiring managers and asking for information interviews with current employees + referrals. Liked everything. The information is very detailed. It is an important module because I am sure that an average job seeker doesn't know all these techniques.
I learned about different sectors and industries, in which sector my interest lies the most for my dream job and How to use that to network on LinkedIn. It was great and it will really help in networking.
This module helps me change my mindset for job searching. I've learnt that not everybody likes networking, but it keeps us going, getting us more opportunities. Having networking scripts will save us time and mental energy. This module is great! It's really helpful because now I'm less drained from job searching.
This module gave me the courage to start making meaningful connections. I am not usually a shy person but taking the first step needs some courage. I like how organized the materials are which is making things easier. I don't enjoy networking but your job tracker makes it easier to follow. Breaking down this to 1h of daily habit applying is great as well. Thanks a lot!
