Your Next Hire: Issue 6
Launching the NEXT community + baller candidates looking for their next chapters!
Big day today – announcing the launch of NEXT, a community for mid-career and exec-level startup job-seekers! 🎉
The job search sucks, even for super-talented people.
I saw the power of collaborative job search with the 1,000 fellows who went through the On Deck First 50 program: sharing their experiences and networks with each other led to amazing outcomes 💙
Excited to build on that success with NEXT and continue supporting entrepreneurial individuals who are intentionally planning their next career chapters 🤩
Know someone amazing who’s thinking about what’s next? I’d appreciate you forwarding this note to them. The first cohort kicks off late May, and the initial application deadline is April 30th.
More info on LinkedIn and Twitter (where I’d appreciate your likes / comments / shares! 🙏) and at nextcareers.co
Now onto this week’s featured job-seekers below.
A little secret that many of the individuals highlighted over the first 6 issues have already signed up for the NEXT community 😉
Want an intro to any of the below candidates or those from last week or the week before? Just reply back or email YourNextHire@substack.com.
Subscribe to get fresh candidates in your inbox every week!
