Step 07: ACCELERATE / Your Playbook

In this Step: ACCELERATE, we focused on broadening your search and going big.

Here are the key elements of your ACCELERATE Playbook:

The Waiting Game:

  • Instead of refreshing your inbox for the 47th time, close your email and open your creation tool.

  • Build something today that adds to your value tomorrow.

The AI Advantage:

  • Pick one time-consuming part of your search process. Hand it to AI as your assistant.

  • Use the time you save to do what machines can't – build real connections.

The Side Door Strategy:

  • Identify your dream company.

  • Now list three specific ways you could create value for them before they ever hire you. Make yourself impossible to ignore.

The Parallel Path / Freelancing:

  • What skill could you monetize right now?

  • What problem could you solve for pay while you hunt? Turn your expertise into income instead of just applications.

The Network Effect:

  • Who could you help today?

  • What introduction could you make?

  • What insight could you share? Bank that career karma before you need to withdraw it.

The Close:

  • Write down your non-negotiable wants & needs now, before any offer clouds your judgment.

  • Know your walk-away points.

  • Define your worth before someone else does.

Remember: The market rewards action, not intention. Every one of these moves should be executed within the next 24 hours.

Your first move starts now. Which one will it be?
