The title itself is not a clickbait but my family is not crazy wealthy. However we do run some businesses that are close to 100m in annual sales (profit margin is less than 10%). I can work for my family business stuff right now but I am not that interested in it at the moment. I would like to join a solid company and learn essential skills first before possibly returning to the family business. However, I haven’t been that successful in terms of landing a nice job. I have about four years of professional career but my resume isn’t that attractive even in my opinion. My previous employers liked me a lot and offered raises but I left the companies because I wasn’t learning enough. I am wondering if there’s anyone here on Blind who could possibly mentor me through landing a nice job at a solid company. I have some experience with Product and Project Management, Operations, and Marketing. Meanwhile, I definitely think I can be a good resource for you in the long term, especially if you are intersted in entrepreneurship or manufacturing. Or if you are looking for an immediate compensation(such as money), we could talk about that too. Thanks for your time!
Why the whole background story which jas nothing to do with the request . Simply ask for referral, resume review. If i am missing anything please let me know
I do believe that there are a lot of genuinely nice people here on blind but I also do think if I share a little bit my background, more people would be interested in networking with me.
You’re hustling backwards. If you’re not interested in the family business...learn the tricks of the trade by working at the family business, then branch off and do your own thing. Landing a job at a solid company won’t teach you anything besides how to be an employee.
Thanks for the advice here. In fact, I have already spent two of my four years at the family business and I know exactly which skills will take the business to another level. Also, my family members also want me to get some working experience from other places before returning. Hope that explains it
The title reminded me of those princes from Nigeria.
I agree it’s not the best title but I like the number of people reading and commenting on my post
What are you specifically hoping to learn that you don’t think you can learn at the family business?
Don’t get me wrong, there are a plenty of things I can learn from my family business. I have learned some amazing stuff already from two years while I worked for the fam business, but I do need to get some experience from other places as well
What are you looking to learn?
I feel you bruh - dm me
you’re the one with the shit post. Gtfo
Not lying bruh
Lol.. you want to make all the rookie mistakes on other people's dime before jumping ship to family business huh? I like that. I can answer any questions you might have about tech jobs. No remuneration needed, networking only. Also if you're on reddit, check out r/fatfire
No, I actually can bring value to other companies just like everyone else. And that’s why my previous employers wanted to keep me. Will I make rookie mistakes along the way? Of course! But who doesn’t? However, the damage will be small because I will not be making extremely important decisions
I wouldn’t want somebody with your background my team because of very probable, lack of true motivation.
Thanks for sharing your opinion. I am actually more motivated than most people around me.
That’s great. I’m probably biased because of my personal experience.
Happy to help. You can DM me.
Thank you. I’ll DM you soon.
You can DM me as well.I can try coaching you a bit.
