    In this episode, learn the easiest way to stop the OPT clock. Any offer can accomplish that; here I discuss finding a volunteer role to stop the clock if you are running out of time. When we volunteer, we need NOT work full-time, thus leaving us several more months and many hours in the day to conduct a structured job hunt. To be completely honest with you, my ideal clients are not those who are running out of time and trying to get just any job. This mindset is detrimental to finding a job that we actually like. This mindset also can make it difficult to think about aiming for a job that we really do want and being open and coachable to achieve that. However, we need to realize that running out of time on the “OPT clock” is all too common. It doesn't need to happen and this video explains what to do at a high level.

    Most people approach networking with the thought: Why would anyone want to talk to me? If we don't get beyond this, we just stay stuck, and we never make the meaningful job hunt advancements which are available to us. Why anyone would want to talk to you depends entirely on you. In this training, I'm going to walk you through a process so that it becomes clear why people actually do want to talk to you, and which ones will.

    There is magic and math to getting an offer. We start off “invisible” to our dream firms, and if we keep working at it, we will become “irresistible” - and get an offer. Math can help us understand how to get to irresistibility faster. Now consider where the Math does NOT apply - as in “magic happening”. Example: When Cara wanted a job, her vision was “an apartment with a view of Manhattan's skyline and a pet cat.” And she wanted a job on Wall Street to pay for it. As soon as she started my coaching program, she found a related internship using my unique LinkedIn Messaging approach. Then she leveraged the internship into her full-time role on Wall Street. This is the power of “showing up” where “non-linear” effects can happen, which can feel like magic.

    When it comes to job offer deadlines, our job is to maximize our return on investment. Here's how to think about juggling offer deadlines: EASY CASE: Do I have my dream offer? Yes? We can accept the one and politely decline the others: MEDIUM CASE: Two strong offers with deadlines: explore which is the best fit among culture, compensation, career path. Here, speaking with more people is fair. Ask both firms for more time to decide! CHALLENGING CASE: Multiple offer deadlines and still interviewing. Here, we ask for more time – perhaps 2 weeks or more – so that we can complete interviews and take stock of a fuller set of offers. Here, tactful communication can help you achieve all of this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Podcast | Juggling Multiple Offer Deadlines Join me for the Extended Podcast Episode where we examine multiple offer deadlines while interviews with JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs are still ongoing.

This is the data that comes from your own job hunt effort. You will find you actually have no data to support that “no one will interview me” or “my experience is not enough”! For any concern about your ability, ask yourself, “Is that true”? “Does the data support that?” Let the data guide you, not emotions.
