What's Your Biggest Challenge These Days?

@vaibhavdwivedi Hey Vaibhav! If it feels right, go for it! Sometimes you just have to start to see where it leads. Good luck!

@cem_ozcelik Thanks, mate. At this point, I really need some word of encouragement to push through because it definitely feels helpful and i have invested a month already.

@julia_zakharova2 You'll be surprised at how disorganized companies tend to be regarding the hiring process. Internally, most departments don't communicate, so HR writes job descriptions without speaking to the department leads who are looking for talent. Hence the disconnect in descriptions. More often than not, the department looking for talent is so overworked that it doesn't have time to craft a job description that reflects exactly what it needs in a hire.

@julia_zakharova2 I understand now. Yeah, that is a bad form for them to do. You are correct that sometimes they'll try to talk you down from a high salary, hoping you'll take the job and they'll save some money on overhead. I know it's easier said than done, but sometimes you have to be upfront and real with people in an interview. If they look to be devaluing your skills to save money, pause the interview and ask them if they feel your credentials and experience discussed are worth the salary being discussed. There is no point in continuing the conversation if their goal is to try and hire you for a cheap price.

@julia_zakharova2 I can totally empathize with the anger and frustration. This employer market is one I've never seen before. It's illogical to me.

@julia_zakharova2 Inconsistent job postings and deceptive hiring practices are frustrating and undermine trust; companies should provide clear and honest information throughout the hiring process. But remember, what is meant for you will find its way to you.

@kouley_moussa_adoum Hey Kouley! Ah, the eternal quest! It’s like trying to find the perfect pair of socks—they’re out there somewhere, just gotta keep digging through the drawer. 😄 Good luck!

@alexiiiiii Upvoted, good luck Alex

@simona_o_neill3 Hey Simona! That’s a brilliant idea! Why not turn it into a project? “The Great Influencer Hunt: Revenue Share Edition” has a nice ring to it! 😄 Good luck!

@simona_o_neill3 do you have a cases to show them how much they could get from working with you? If not, have you thought about making 1-2 with sponsors or micro-influencers, get case with numbers so it would be easier negotiating revshare later?

@simona_o_neill3 do you have an affiliate program that compensates them for secured business? or do they just want cash up front? Curious how you're solving this issue.

@dzaitzow Yes, we have an affiliate program anyone can join. But for all larger influencer accounts I am reaching out to we offer a bigger percentage for each sale. The thing is we only want to work with people who trully love and believe in our product. The ones who will review our product and will genuinely recommend it. Anytime I see a sponsored post I know that the creator's recommendation was bought rather than something they believe would sell regardless. They all seem to just want cash upfront without even looking at the product. The ones who do look at it want to work with us straight away, but it's super difficult to get to that stage.

@kostyabolsh Hey, yep that's exactly the right approach and what I'm trying to do. I have some smaller accounts onboard already (tested the product, love it, making content, already sold licenses through their affiliate link etc). I also have a very notable Youtube account preparing to test our product next week. So fingers crossed 🤞. If they love it and put the content out it's game on. We'll have lots of social proof and it should be much easier. But it's a real struggle getting people to talk to you in first place.

@rupal_saini Hey Rupal! Sometimes the best way to boost productivity is by taking breaks. Stepping away from tasks can help you return with a clearer mind and more focus. Keep going!
