Welcome to the LCM Network
You may see a slight dip in roles. The new year hiring spree seems to be coming to a close. This means you must be targeted and be on top of open roles. Don’t be discouraged and remember to always choose quality over quantity in your job search and other ways you spend your time.
Follow the LCM company page on LinkedIn to get early news of new roles and even roles “outside” the LCM Network! Seeing a role earlier can make all the difference!
Subscribing to the newsletter and spreadsheet is free!

Nailing Job Hunting and Side Hustling Like a Pro: A Practical Guide
In today's rollercoaster job market, relying solely on a 9-to-5 is like putting all your eggs in one shaky basket. The real game-changer? Juggling job hunting and a side hustle simultaneously. It's not rocket science; it's about securing your bag and having fun while at it. Let's dive into why and how you can tackle this double-duty hustle with confidence.
Mixing It Up with Multiple Hustles:
In a world where job security is as elusive as a gold-plated card, having a side hustle becomes your insurance policy for financial resilience. It's not just about surviving; it's about thriving even when the job market throws you a curveball.
Leverage platforms like LinkedIn, Indeed, and Glassdoor. Craft a stellar LinkedIn profile, connect with professionals, and join industry groups.
Unleash Your Inner Passion:
When it comes to side hustles, think less about paying the bills and more about what gets your heart racing. What are you good at? What do you love doing? Your side hustle should be your happy place, making the grind not feel like a grind at all.
Explore Upwork, Fiverr, and Etsy for freelancing opportunities. You might offer graphic design services on Fiverr or sell handmade items on Etsy.
Time: The Ultimate Balancing Act:
Balancing a job search with hustling means becoming a time management ninja. Slice up your day to dedicate quality time to job hunting, networking, and nurturing your side hustle. It's a balancing act, but you can own it with some planning.
Use Trello, Asana, or Google Calendar and allocate specific time slots for job applications, networking, and side hustle tasks.
Also, consider using the FREE LCM Job Tracker to guide your search better!
Networking: Your Secret Weapon:
Networking is the golden thread weaving through both job hunting and side hustling. Tap into your professional contacts for job leads while using your network to spread the word about your side hustle. It's like killing two birds with one social-savvy stone.
Attend virtual events on Meetup or Eventbrite. Engage in online forums, ask questions, and share your expertise. Peer Support groups that are highly specific to your needs can also be great to explore. Check out a few here:
Money Talks:
Starting a side hustle might need a bit of cash injection upfront. As you navigate the job market, manage your finances wisely. Consider setting aside a chunk of your savings to fuel your side gig. It's an investment in yourself; think of it as planting seeds for future green.
Utilize resources like Mint or YNAB for effective budgeting. Create a separate budget for side hustle expenses and track income diligently.
Build That Personal Brand:
Whether it is a job hunt or a hustle launch, having a killer personal brand is non-negotiable. Show off your skills, shout about your achievements, and tell the world you're the real deal. A strong personal brand not only lands you jobs but propels your side hustle into the spotlight.
