Thread regarding Nike Inc. layoffs

I wouldn’t believe everything you read online. It’s a brutal job market out there. The people having success are more likely to share their story.

Keep your head up.

Nike is excellent at teaching you how to say the right things to the right people, read the room, and play the political game.

So a lot of people learned those lessons and are ki-ling it because they apply that to job searches and externally. Network with everyone and anyone who has a management title or "talent acquisition", befriend them, tell them what they want to hear. be active on linkedin with actually interesting things to say.

Same. I have been applying since April. Out of hundreds of applications, only a few phone screens.

Actively seek out renowned head hunting companies, connect with them, pre-interview etc. They are incentivized to boost your resume and ultimately place you. Much more strategic way to finding the next role (esp since they know the roles coming before they are posted).

Apply same tactic to anyone with Talent Acquisition in their title.

Despite popular believed, LinkedIn works.
