Consider this…
It’s 2008.
I’m broke, ill, unemployed, and depressed.
I’ve just moved from Stockholm to Copenhagen.
I am on the verge of being homeless (and NOT for the first time).
And I already feel like a loser and a lost cause.
Then, I started doing something different to find a job.
STANDING OUT IN THE CROWD USING THIS SIMPLE HACK
Rather than feeling sorry for myself and/or blaming others, I decided to try something different.
Enough with mailing my resume to companies and hiring agencies.
My approach was so alien to my flatmates (all of whom were blue-collar workers) that they mocked me and laughed at me for days.
But it was one of those rare flatmates in my life until then when I decided to become deaf to others critique.
I continued to take action, and then within a week or so…
I had 2 jobs.
BENEFITS OF MY UNCONVENTIONAL APPROACH
- live comfortably in Scandinavia (for the very first time)
- make some savings
- learn a few new things
- realize (with more certainty) that jobs ain't for me
- eventually leave Denmark, (my Danish green card), and my 2 jobs, and then become a full-fledged entrepreneur
