Welcome to the LCM Network

Full newsletters are delivered by email only and will not be publicly viewable on the website.

Following the LCM company page, you can get early news of new roles, and even roles “outside” the LCM Network may be shared. It may be less pretty and curated, but you may hear of a role a day or two sooner--and those days can make all the difference! You can open the page via the link below and click the 'Follow' button on the main page.

NEW—the all-in-one job list!! Moving forward, all jobs will be on one spreadsheet 🤯. The link will be shared in the weekly email newsletter. The best advice would be to make a copy of this spreadsheet or download the spreadsheet to be able to filter as you wish.

Tab 1: Startup Roles Usually high-level roles in cutting-edge technologies!

Tab 2: Web3 Roles Roles throughout Web3 and worldwide—often remote!

Tab 3: Multi-Industry Roles US and Canada-based tech, engineering, and finance roles across multiple industries. These are more niche roles, so searching for keywords with a good ol’ CTRL+F may be a good way to check 😉 46 roles!

Tab 4: Direct Apply Roles Tech and Finance roles throughout the US, where you can view and apply by clicking on the links. This list is a little shorter this week both because there are so many good roles where you can be directly connected, and these jobs are starting to move quicker—a good thing overall! Jobs are hiring 😊

Not Finding a Fit Right Now?

Complete this form with a description of your perfect fit. I'll see if there are matches right now and try to include more of these types of roles in the future!

Tips of the Week (remix)-Start using START and turn CARL into CARLA

The STAR method is commonly used for resumes and behavioral interviews. But you can set yourself apart by adding some additional information that the recruiter or interviewer will want to know and would probably ask you anyway. That’s where START (for resumes) and CARLA for interviews come in.

https://mit.edu/resources/the-star-method-for-behavioral-interviews/

On tech resumes especially, I recommend the START method™️ (ok, not trademarked yet 😉)

S
For the "S," you only have to do it once per company you worked for-you can get that information from Crunchbase or the company website. If you worked in a specific department, include that information too. For example, a hiring manager may not know what "Meta" does, but it would have a different meaning if you work specifically in ad revenue. This saves a lot of time explaining in an interview, helps people reading your resume know what companies you worked for, and gives you more credit for lesser-known companies. Remember also that a hiring manager may not work directly in your industry, so they may not even know "big names." Want more proof? Check out this article: 25 Biggest Companies You've Never Heard Of

Would you rather say you work for McKesson and take a chance that they know the company, or put a quick descriptor under the company name? "McKesson distributes medical supplies, information technology, and care management products and services. It is the largest company in the US and a global leader in healthcare technology, supply chain management solutions, and retail pharmacy, among many other health-related fields." And, if it helps, add what you did. e.g., "I worked on a team that built and maintained the data warehouse for the supply chain management."

TAR
Each bullet point should be the TAR-Task, Action, and Result.
T: What were you asked to do?
A: What actions did you take?
R: What was the result/benefit to the company?

T
The final T is for tools/tech. While you may have these elsewhere in your skills section, professional summary, and bullet points, it can be helpful to quickly show what tools you used professionally and in independent, from-scratch projects. There are a few benefits here:

1. It helps people orient to your preferred or strongest "tech stack" or "environment"

2. It shows that you have worked on professional-level products using these tools

3. It is already linked to a length of time. Hope this helps to START your resume revision and skip some of the screening questions or at least have a cheat sheet for yourself when they ask you a question that they should have been able to get from your resume.

You may have also heard of CARL—for interviews; I prefer CARLA (also trademark pending)

Sharing your learning shows that you have learned from the experience and have internalized it more deeply.

Want to blow them away in a technical interview, though? Try CARLA--it's great you learned something from a project, but how does that help them?

APPLY that knowledge to their project and how you would use the same learnings to improve their results. This is also an excellent tool for early career software engineers who may still need to get the projects in their portfolio they want.

Let's say you want to work in Web3, but your projects don't align. Find what is similar to what you do know and directly apply the knowledge.

Let's break this down with a common Bootcamp project and tie it to a completely different role that could use a similar basic skill:

STAR:
S: I wanted a new picture of space to appear on my website daily.
T: I had to find a way to call an image to appear on my website.
A: I used the NASA API call to add a picture daily.
R: I had a new image on my website each day

CARL:
C: I wanted a new picture of space to appear on my website daily.
A: I used the NASA API call to add a picture daily.
R: I had a new image on my website each day.
L: I learned how to call APIs and explored other APIs I could use.

CARLA:
C: I wanted a new picture of space to appear on my website daily.
A: I used the NASA API call to add a picture daily.
R: I had a new image on my website each day.
L: I learned how to call APIs and explored other APIs I could use.
A: At your company, you want to post the Bitcoin Price Index. I can use a similar method using the CoinDesk API to call the real-time BPI to display on your site.
