Nisha, sent the linkedin connection request to people i met in a virtual career fair and most
of them are uh recruiters headhunters i'm assuming you mean what's the next step
after they accept the request well i i don't know i mean i i would probably uh have uh
messaged them first and not sent the connection request
i think he did it backwards so if it's me and i meet this is exactly what i would do
any of you sanisha let's say we let's say andy's got a time machine we're going back
okay we're going back to the past i'm in a virtual affair with you you're all headhunters okay we're
all done i got your emails i got your whatevers i looked you up on linkedin hey hey mrs headhunter
i'm andy i was in that in that uh virtual career fair with you i really enjoyed it i hope you did
too i wanted to reach out to you to see if we can get connected on linkedin i recognize you are a
recruiter i'm assuming that you're recruiting for positions i'm guessing uh you you could use my
network if uh you know if if you if you want to get connected i'd be happy to share it with you
and i'd also be open to a phone call and you can let me know what kind of positions you recruit for
and i'd be happy to give you all the names of the people that i know that's the message okay
it isn't hey i need a job it's what can i do for you so that's the message that you send and hey
and and i'm also happy to share my background if i fit any of your needs but either way i'd
love to connect something like that you have got to i i promise you the universe knows and
your luck will change when you focus on helping others first and what's in it for you second
i do you don't believe me um the free book that i get this book we lose our shirts on getting
rid of this book okay so i had to buy the book we had to manufacture the book i have to store it in
a warehouse i have to pay the service fees i have to pay the envelopes i have to pay all that stuff
and we shoot it out into the world okay and we've been doing that since april 2018. all right my
royalties on the book for people actually buy the book are 10 times what they used to be before i
gave the book away now this book i pay a lot of money and some of you could say well that's
marketing and it is but a lot of people don't buy the programs they just take the book but i
know that there's goodwill that goes out into the world okay and it will catch up with me somewhere
right i'm gonna give you a four day free workshop that's i don't know let's call
it conservatively 10 hours of time give it all away thousands of people will see it
but thousands of you won't jump into that's okay i don't even think about that i think
put the gifts out and those who need me will find me and a lot of times because i'm in that motion
constantly then good things happen well the same thing happens for you if you're job searching if
you sent 10 messages a day to people and just said how can i help you i mean you know what
i mean targeting lee or in a targeted fashion right with some intent and actually meant it
i'm guessing you'd have all kinds of job offers flying out of your pockets you would you would
because you're putting yourself in a situation to let serendipity happen to you right i i think
we released uh a a video on my instagram page about you know should you filter out third party
recruiters and my message somebody asked me that question like how do i filter out and say no and
i was like you never say no you get on the phone right away and you talk to them and you give them
give whatever what can i do for you what positions are you searching for let me see who i know and
you give them people and you give them names that's your gift to them and and good things
will happen to you but most people think well this recruiter contacted me because they need something
or this job that they're looking to fill i don't look anything like that what are they thinking
that's the wrong mentality okay it's oh there's an opportunity to talk to somebody and help them
now don't get me wrong you gotta weigh all the time in your life but if you're in job search
mode every inbound call that comes to you is an opportunity and i'm not talking about shoving
your resume on indeed and the 50 inquiries you get a day that are coming from automated systems
that haven't looked at your resume but what you know saw some keyword or have some researcher
auto sending emails i'm talking about an inbound inquiry from a company or a recruiter or a friend
or whoever that would be smart to get connected to it's about the art of the possible but it's
also about you helping first and having that mentality change your life it will i promise you
