QUICK NOTE
Introduce yourself!

Hi everyone! Before we wrap up 2024, I’d love to learn more about you!

After all, this is more than a newsletter, it’s a community where you have a voice in the advice you want to read.

I recently updated the subscriber survey so you might have missed it.

If you joined before December, please take 30 seconds to fill it out πŸ˜†

Otherwise, you can ignore this part.

TOPIC
5 most-viewed articles of 2024

πŸ”΅ 1 whole year of sprinting.

Wow, 1 year of articles, or 53 to be specific.

I did some digging yesterday and saw a crazy stat. Last year around this time, we had 181 readers.

Today, that number’s grown to over 3800.

To those of you who are new, we have a tradition where the last email of every year lists the 5 most viewed articles.

You can check out the one I wrote last year here.

The design has come a pretty long way eh?

Anyway, here’s a summary of my five most-read articles of 2024 along with a description and link to each one.

If you resonate with any, click on the respective link to view the full article!

1. This email landed me 3 jobs

Pretty straightforward as the title suggests.

I sent out 1 cold email to a recruiter that resulted in me landing 3 back-to-back internships. My story was even featured on a podcast with 50K subscribers!

You can read it here.

2. The #1 problem with resumes

In this article, I dive into the main issue regarding resumes and why they alone aren’t enough.

It explains where your resume goes after you hit that β€œsubmit button.”

You can read it here.

3. WTF is the goal of a coffee chat

We hear all the time that β€œcoffee chatting is important.” But how exactly do you get a job out of it?

In this article, I explain how to approach your 1st coffee chat with someone so that it can turn into a lasting connection.

One that benefits you later down the line.

You can read it here.

4. I interviewed a recruiter!

In this one, I interviewed a former recruiter to understand what they look for when selecting candidates.

It’s jam-packed with secrets and if you ever wonder what recruitment is like through a recruiter’s lens, then this is for you.

You can read it here.

5. Get a copy of my resume

Tbh, I’m not surprised this one got a lot of views - I was doing a 2-week giveaway of my resume.

While that has expired, the article still gives 3 ways to instantly improve your resume!

You can read it here.

Closing Thoughts:

I have some big stuff planned for next year such as:

  1. A new series where I share my LinkedIn growth journey

  2. Two new guides for cold-emailing and coffee chatting

Until then, I wish you a happy holiday!

See you next Tuesday, 2025 🀝
