and free training head to JOINTNI.COM So I wanted her to be able to share
her story with you today I want to introduce her Sasha thank you so much
for joining me here today Hi Linda thank you for having me
absolutely so what I really want to start with asking you Sasha is why don't
you tell us a little bit about your background you know when you were
looking for a job what was what were you dealing with what were you struggling
with because I know that you are a CPA in progress you're pursuing your CPA can
you tell us a little bit about your story so I graduated from University in
2017 new accounting and I found a job as an
accountant at a very small logistic company my dream carrier was to working
at a big accounting firm so I tried to look on my own for several months but I
after I sent out over 50 job applications I only got 2 to 3
interviews and for those interviews that there wasn't any follow-up after the
interview therefore I was feeling low confidence
so that's why I reached out to you ok great so you were feeling low confidence
and you were job searching for several months on your own so let's talk about
that well why were you feeling low confidence you know what was happening
because before I started to apply job I was pretty confident because I had a
ready to internship experience with big accounting firms so I feel like I have
ability to work with the accounting firm but after my job searching I feel like
oh maybe I don't have the ability to working with them maybe I am just not a
good at accounting so I started to start myself
that's my ability right and like when you would go and apply for jobs and
you'd go in for the interviews how did you feel when it came to having to sell
yourself and connect yourself with the employers how did you feel during
interviews during my previous interview I feel extremely nervous and
stressful I memorized the stuff and just to repeat them to the HR so that's why I
was nervous about that because I need to rent memorize everything and after the
interview they would just didn't give any feedback right so you tried to
memorize you thought that was the right way and you went into the interviews and
then they never called you back okay Sasha so when it came to us working
together after you signed up to work with me through Sando get hired you
ended up getting how many interviews and how many job offers like what was the
timeline what were the results so I applied a five job application to state
and they receive once reply from the employer on the same day at the end of
the week I got an interview from this company and I got the job offer on 70 so
this is a process that I received a job offer Wow amazing just so I want the
audience to be clear so Sasha actually got her job offer as soon as she applied
within that week she ended up getting the job offer but we had to do a few
weeks of work beforehand when it came to making sure that she had a really good
strong resume and implementing the right job search strategies and understanding
how to interview properly so there were several weeks that went into that
probably close to two months where then once she applied she was able to get her
dream job offer so this was after I taught you all the strategies you
applied to five positions you got one interview and then you ended
up getting the job offer for that position as well and so before you had
applied to 50 jobs and you only got you said two or three interviews is that
right yes yes only two to three interviews and a no feedback no rooms
high right amazing I'm so glad to hear that can you tell us a little bit about
how you found out about me and what made you want to reach out to me well I think
you remember is the aleutian I knew she was working at the previous company I
realized that she found a new job so when I asked her she said oh I was laid
off and I found a Linda to help to find another job and after her suggestion I
searched your YouTube and viewed all of your videos
that's you you provide a very detailed suggestions for job searching and so
that's why I found zo2 that's so funny I actually didn't know that you were
friends with Zhi Shan that's great I'm so glad to hear okay so that's how you
found it and then so when we started working together what were some of the
things that you started to learn just what were some things that you realized
you were doing wrong I think they're the wrong things that is my like the
interview skills now I know I have to speak naturally and always tell stories
with the format you taught and also the job searching strategy now I know how to
find a job more efficiently than my previous way I think of these are two
most important thing you talk to me oh absolutely
okay well I'm glad to hear that so you know I want to ask Sasha when it comes
to job searching and it comes to finding your dream career for people who are
struggling with that what would you say to them you know if they're struggling
and they're just like you what would you say to them in terms of reaching out to
a coach such as myself for help well I think for your service you can provide a
very detailed and also unique job searching strategy maybe you can provide
help based on personal situation to find jobs and also the skills each other is
very detailed so that we can follow easily I can we can ask any questions we
have and you can follow up very quickly I think that is most helpful there were
people out there struggling to find their dream job would you recommend
working with me through stand-up get hired yeah absolutely is an example I
was struggling to find a job for almost three months and then after working with
you I got a job offer within within a week that was super surprised yes
absolutely so how do you feel now Sasha I mean in terms of you know your
confidence level and your ability to be able to find a job and sell yourself to
employers how do you feel now I feel very confident you know when even after
your first session about how to revise the resume and
your job searching skills and interview skills I still felt nervous about that
too to start searching their jobs but you encouraged me to start to search so
after that when I receive a reply from the employer I started to feel oh am
good at that I'm not like a loser yes you're not a loser
absolutely okay well that's really great I'm so glad to hear and how do you feel
about your new job are you excited to start I know that you haven't started
your new job just yet yeah I'm very excited to start that I'm going to start
two weeks after it and now I can't wait to start my new job that's amazing
so Sasha let's talk about your story if there's someone out there who's watching
this video right now and is very similar to you
you know they've recently graduated maybe they're working maybe they're not
working and they've been looking for a job for several months or maybe even
longer what advice would you give them if if you could talk to them right now
well I would say if you are struggling for such a long time for months and even
longer don't try to do it to do on your own I think it's time for you to ask for
other health I made a decision to work with Linda and now I feel very confident
and find my dream job so I think if you are in such a situation you need to find
health with Linda great well I mean I hope that they take that advice to heart
thank you so Sasha for people who are interested in working with me through
stand out get hired as you know there is an investment investment of time energy
and money that goes into this program so what would your advice be to people who
are you know still on the fence about making this investment in themselves
well I would say that you care about your carrier and care about yourself you
have to be willing to invest yourself because this is your carrier it is it's
very important if you're really not happy you may not feel happy for your
life so for me I'm glad to working with Linda
cuz I got my dream job got to the result that I'm looking for amazing amazing so
Sasha for those people who are watching right now what type of person would you
recommend would be a good match to work with me in the stand Oh get hard program
what would their traits be what would you say is important that they need to
have well I would say we'll have two hardworking and a willing to learn and
then you will just need to trust Linda she knows what she is talking about and
if you have all of these things you will reach your goals and you will have more
competence amazing awesome so Sasha is there anything else you want to say
before we go well I think I've said everything I just want to say I highly
