What you'll learn
Write your search direction in one sentence
Go from a vague sense of what you want to a clear job search thesis that widens your view of companies that fit you.
Build a target list of 20 companies using intuition and AI
Watch it done live, start to finish, so you can run the same process on your own search right after.
Prioritize list for a targeted set of employers
Rank the list by different factors, so you are proactively networking with the right people ahead of applying to jobs
How to keep your list fresh as you learn more
Add or drop companies as your coffee chats show you what fits, so your list stays useful and manageable as you network.
Why this topic matters
Applying to posted jobs puts you in a pile with hundreds of other people. Networking works better, but only if you know which companies to focus on. In this lesson you'll go from "I'm open to anything" to a short list of 20 companies you chose on purpose, ranked by how excited you are about them, so you know exactly who to reach out to first.
