Time for a Career Change!
I wanted to grow into higher roles and found myself looking at jobs on LinkedIn every day after work. At some point, I realized I had saved 48 jobs but applied to only 1. They were OK but just not for me. Perhaps headhunters would have better roles…I read that LinkedIn was good for this so I decided to redo my LinkedIn profile.
After two weeks, I got a message from the then Managing Director of Michael Page on LinkedIn inviting me to an interview for Reuters. This role was similar to the one I held but paid 5 times what I was earning at the time! So, LinkedIn worked great but I struggled in the interview so I clearly needed more than just a new LinkedIn profile…
How could I get started?
So I thought, what if I could reengineer the process to meet more recruiters and find more of these interesting roles? However, with thousands of recruiters based in and out of Kenya, where would one even start to find them?
I also found that 70%+ of jobs were privately filled through networks but how exactly did one go about searching for roles within their networks? This was all too complex and time-consuming! So, I remained limited to roles that were advertised and had high competition.
Better Together!
Subsequently, I shared my experiences and what I was learning with friends and family. Turns out I was not alone. People were trying to optimize their LinkedIn profiles, ace interviews, and find great roles too. But who specialized in helping people at their level…
I offered to help them and they saw results AND I loved it! I caught the bug. For two years, I immersed myself in learning the ins and outs of executive search, how to position yourself to succeed, and more. Angled North was soon launched. Seven years later, I am proud to say we have helped numerous people secure senior managerial or higher roles.
