    • @MarkellBaldwin
      @MarkellBaldwin 8 месяцев назад

      Great question. There’s no perfect formula. I’ve seen friends lean into specialization and generalization. The opportunity in specialization is obvious but the counterintuitive part is that generalization unlocks specialization. That’s because your skillset can be diverse and unlock new ways of thinking. Though I think there’s no wrong answer, it’s more important to lean into your curiosities than try to optimize for something. And regardless of your expertise or craft be open minded about where it’s applied and try to find uncommon/unconventional ways to apply. That’s the real unlock in value and earning potential. Let me get back to on book suggestions. First thoughts are “Thinking, Fast and Slow” and “Nudge” by Richard Thaler. These books opened up incentives, choice architecture, and the art and science of decision making and fallacies. It’s a mix between psychology and economics. I enjoyed them because as an engineer I want to solve problems, and not all solutions are technology. Hope this is helpful! I’ll think more on it.

    Depends on your job. For example, I work in the financial services as a project manager and it's hard to create content on projects because it is frowned upon. Everything is highly regulated and I work with teams updating back-end systems so information on the projects are not the kind of thing a bank wants you advertising.

    HELP! I had two connections who used a generic request but I did tell them both why I loved their profiles then informed them about the position I applied for and I asked for details about their experience with the company. I know my message was read but no reply. Should I send a new message? I really want to work for this company and just want an opportunity to showcase my abilities.

    • @MarkellBaldwin
      @MarkellBaldwin 2 года назад

      Hi Derricka! If I’m gathering your situation right, you requested a connection and shared a message in the request. They read it and added you to their network but no reply. If my understanding is correct, that definitely happens a lot. It could be they didn’t read it or they perceived the question as too much effort to respond to at the time. It doesn’t hurt to follow up at all. I’d bump the message by saying “just wanted to follow up, if you have 5 min to chat or tell me how I can do X” I think you’ll have better odds. If a question is too vague or open ended, I find it hard to give a meaningful response. And often that turns into no response. Let me know what happens!

    @dancingshade5344 2 года назад

    This is what I have seen. I worked in the medical device industry and everything revolves around documentation. Many of my more senior colleagues have amazing technical talent, but their writing skills are very lacking. I ask them to document their testing and lab work, but the document is often unorganized and full of holes, from an audit perspective. They often forget to add decisive conclusive statements on their findings or even fail to explain why the work is being done. Sometimes I get some impostor syndrome being in a senior role at a young age, but then I see things like this and it kind of levels out the playing field.

    What would be a job title(s) for the advocate position that a company might have? I know sometimes recruiters go by different titles so I’m wondering if it might be the same for the advocate role.

    • @MarkellBaldwin
      @MarkellBaldwin 2 года назад

      Besides recruiters, anyone with the title you want or in the area of interest that is actually engaged online or shows hints at being receptive to cold outreach (content, specifying interests on their profile) works. I try to think of it as an experiment too. You won’t know exactly who but the only way to find out is to reach out. You’ll start to see certain messages that are more receptive or people who tend to respond more frequently.
