HOW I'D GET A JOB TODAY (FROM A FORMER CEO) HOW TO GET A JOB IN 2025 - ALL THE METHODS THAT WORK! What would a former CEO actually do to get hired - if they had to start over today? That question hit harder than expected. Not just because it’s personal, but because it forces a different kind of thinking. Not theory. Not generic advice. A real plan. One that would have to work now, under real pressure. This is not a broad overview of job search methods. It’s a specific answer to a very specific question: What would someone who’s hired many people do if they suddenly found themselves unemployed? The answer might surprise you. It’s not the most common methods. It’s not what most career coaches recommend. And it’s certainly not what most job seekers are doing. This approach avoids conventional tactics entirely - and zeroes in on high-leverage actions that most people overlook. Throughout the breakdown, AI tools like ChatGPT are used live - not to replace thinking, but to demonstrate how modern tools can support a sharper, more strategic search. The structure is simple: Each major job search method gets evaluated - not based on theory, but on what’s actually worth doing when the stakes are high and the clock is ticking. Whether you’re just starting out or reevaluating your next move, this perspective shifts the conversation. It’s not about tips and tricks. It’s about focus. Efficiency. Impact. Because if you’re going to spend your energy trying to get hired, you should know where it’s really worth spending it. ***My GET HIRED Course*** (More Details: ***My $100 MBA Course*** (More Details: ***My WRITE LIKE A PROFESSIONAL Course*** (More Details: My SALARY NEGOTIATION Series of Videos (playlist): My GET HIRED Series of Videos (playlist): The Companies Expert 2 - For Jobseekers and Careers: The Companies Expert 3 - For Entrepreneurs & Managers: @TheCompaniesExpert3 Support me on Patreon: Specific Resources: Hidden Job Market: How Successful People Get Jobs: How to Answer Salary Expectations on a Job Application Form: 00:00 - Intro 01:35 - Posted Jobs 04:55 - Applying in Person 07:29 - Recruiters 08:45 - Direct Outreach 16:29 - Informational Interviews 22:30 - Growth Opportunities 30:14 - Events 34:54 - Referrals 38:48 - Volunteering 41:10 - Personal Branding 43:42 - Cold Calling #jobsearch #career #networking Read more about Job Interviews: There is a big difference between what you learn in business school, and what you need to know in the real world – just ask any startup founder or business owner!
