Issue Two · Limited Edition
Sick of Fu*king corporate slop job boards?
I had 14 different job boards saved during my hunt:
LinkedIn · Indeed · Handshake  +11 more
  The Problem
Let's face it...
Trying to find where to apply is a TRAP
The endless job-board cycle
My Take
LinkedIn is okay for applying but EVERYONE is there...
  The Solution
I made my own job board
Recipe Tip
Most job boards have up to:
80%
of duplicate listings!!!
one job, six posts

I know not having a job is really hard rn.
You spend years in college and expect at least something. But here you are, just how I was a year ago, feeling lost. I spent 7 months unemployed, but I'm going to try my best to make sure it doesn't take you that long. That's the real goal of this newsletter.
During my job hunt, money got really tight. There was a point where I was 15¢ away from just my credit card minimum payment. I'm extremely thankful for my role at Instagram, but those 7 months were BRUTAL.
So, take it easy, take breaks, connect with friends, and just keep applying.
- The Chef, Nic
