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?
