Job Seekers: The Italians Call It “Sprezzatura”

Not giving a f*ck often leads to job search success.

"A nonchalant attitude—it’ll be what it’ll be—is much more appealing than desperate action or the display of frustration and anger."

"Doing Everything Right and Still Getting Fucked."

Another thought-provoking Substack post by Mariah Faith Continelli, which leaves me with the question:

The goalposts have moved, so why haven’t our expectations?

Overthinking is what's stopping you.

Every time you hesitate, somebody with less skills and less knowledge does it instead of you.

While you're sitting around thinking about "doing it," someone else is just doing it.

My latest article, "Why Nobody Talks About the Future Anymore."

We expect the rug to be ripped from under us at any moment, so we stop dreaming about what the future might hold and concentrate on making it to Friday still employed.

"There’s No Universal Hiring Methodology"

Consider this: Every employer hires differently, right? Therefore, all that cliché job search "advice" being circulated is largely irrelevant.

The most successful people I've met aren't above-average smart.

🟢They associate with the right people
🟢They move fast
🟢They take risks
🟢They work more than they play

That's it.

Job seekers who can articulate how they’ll add measurable value to an employer's bottom line are those who’ll find job search success, though it’ll be far from easy.
