IU #009: Super Exciting Announcement! 🎉

Hey,

After a week of pasta, pizza, coffee, wine and sunshine, I’m back from Italy.

What an AMAZING week!

We flew to Brindisi and travelled around Puglia. I would definitely recommend visiting that part of the world.

I may have missed the past 2 newsletters, but the good news is that I have a HUGE announcement about my next project!

VERY exciting news.

Before I announce my upcoming project, I wanted to give you some background.

So, over the past two years, I’ve released 2 e-books.

My first was How to Find a Job in Data Analytics. It was a book of interviews with data experts.

Not everyone has the access (or the time) to talk to the most successful data analysts on the planet. So, I reached out to them for you.

That book was where 64 data experts shared the stories of their careers - How they got a job in data, what their job is like and what they wish they had known sooner.

It was awesome to learn what it’s like to work with data in different jobs, industries and countries.

It’s the book I wish I had when I first started.

Maybe, I’m just lazy, but I find life so much easier when someone tells me all about their experience and just tells me what to do.

Between you and me, it was also a sneaky way of me getting to talk to all these amazing people.

‘Hey, please talk to me’ doesn’t always work, but ‘Hey, can I interview you for my book?’ works really well.

I’m super proud of it.

My second book was, ‘How to Transform Your Resume with ChatGPT’. It’s a very simple guide for using ChatGPT to:

• Create a resume that is perfectly tailored to a job description

• Create a cover letter

• Predict interview questions

• Generate interview answers

I’m super proud of both books and I still sell a tonne of copies every week. I would still definitely recommend them, but…

As much as I loved my e-books, I always knew there was something missing.

When people visited my LinkedIn profile, they were promised, ‘I can help you land a job through online networking’.

Despite creating content every day for 18 months, I still felt like I wasn’t doing enough to help.

So, I started this newsletter. Every week, I would explain how to land a job through online networking in even more detail.

Yes, my work had a lot of strategy, but I had never explained the entire strategy from start to finish.

How could I expect people to follow it if I hadn’t released it in the correct order?

So, I started coaching people.

I have LOVED explaining my strategy to people 1:1. Many of my clients have landed their first job, their first interview and built out their network.

Their instant feedback and questions have helped me to flesh out strategies in even more detail.

(If that sounds helpful, you can find my coaching here)

So, here’s the announcement!

I’ve completed the first draft of my new e-book!

Yep. You guessed it. It’s called ‘Infinite Upside: How to Land a Job Through Online Networking'.

It’s a step-by-step strategy guide that has my entire strategy from start to finish.

I know the jobs market is absolutely brutal right now, so I’m going to make you an offer you can’t refuse.

I’m going to release it as “pay whatever price you like”.

So, if you are short on cash you can get it for FREE and if not, you can pay whatever price you like.

Pretty exciting, right?!
