Right now, you need to stand out.

Now companies receive 4x or 5x candidates per job opening. So from a candidate perspective, you need to stand out.

So that’s why I created the SDR Layoff Survival Kit, and this list of resources to help you stand out in the hiring process.

And created a job board to find companies that are hiring right now.

Let’s go:

Contact the CEO by Florin Tatulea

Go on google and type in "{CEO NAME} + 2022". That CEO will almost certainly have interviews, blog posts, and articles in which you can tie back a reason why you want to work for them.

Hi CEO,

Just watched your interview on {X PODCAST} and {INSERT RELEVANCE}

I was recently laid off, but as any great salesperson, I'm not going to let one rejection define me. This is just the beginning for me and I'd love to channel this energy on your team.

I've reached out to {MANAGER} & {VP} regarding the open SDR role, but wanted to put myself on your radar as well.

Best from a very hungry SDR,
