Over the past decade, I have reviewed over 1,000 cv's in search for the best team members to join our team. I see a lot of people in Israel in need of jobs these days so sharing some tips from my experience as a manager and Organizational Psychologist that I hope can be helpful. If you have any questions or additional insights, please feel free to comment below or pm me. I divided the job-seeking journey into 4 stages: 1. Self-reflection 2. CV building 3. Networking 4. “Dating” your future boss In this post I will cover some pointers for the first 3 stages. Next post will cover pointers for the last stage. *Self-reflection* 1. Self-reflection and understanding what you are good at and what you are passionate about. 2. Who are you - Need to be able to answer this in 2-3 lines at the top of the CV. Are you a manager and looking to be in a leadership role or more of a hands-on executive? Is your focus marketing/sales/coding/project management? Pro tip: Ask your friends to be honest with you and share the value they see you bring. It will crystalize your own view as well. *CV and LinkedIn profile* 1. CV building - how does your future boss know you are great at what you do? What success and impact did you have that you can articulate with numbers? 2. The design is great. But the most important is the content. Make sure clear description in the header what you do and keep it short, with bullet points and a 1-pager. Make sure no mistakes. If there is even 1 typo, it is a no-go. 3. Passion talks. Years ago I hired a young man with very little experience because he came with great passion and told me how he taught himself code at age 11. See how you can find that story that highlights your greatness. *Networking* 1. Networking and asking friends for an intro or to put in a good word. Identify 10 people you will have coffee with to brainstorm your career. Some will give you great advice. Others will give you a good lead. 2. Don't only think about networking with those who can give you the job today but rather with those who know people that can help you. 3. The best way to build trust is to show your work in action. I once hired someone because he reached out and explained to me in a loom video why one of my client websites stinked and how that can be fixed. He didn't tell me what he does but showed me. What tips have you found as a manager that you would give future employees?

#StartupNationCentral - a non-profit promoting #Israelitechnology - has launched a great marketmap of Israeli defense companies and startups. The map features over 160 companies, as well as thematic accelerators and investors. You can share it with your friends or save it for yourself. How to use the map: 1. Companies are grouped by themes, and in this case, marked by their focus (pure defense or civilian use as well). 2. Identify the groups that resonate with you, select a logo, and start your research. 3. If a company interests you, follow them and relevant employees on LinkedIn and try to establish contact.

2 upcoming events you won't want to miss: Tomorrow, our annual conference will be held at BMeniv Financial Company – featuring financial courses and training, a lavish meal, networking, and industry leaders in a small boutique setup in the middle of the Ramat Gan stock exchange. I'm not sure if tickets are still available, but this is one of the few events each year that I attend in person. Those who know how virtually everything in my life is managed will understand the significance. Next week on Sunday, June 23, 2024 – the AI conference by Atzmait (the largest networking organization for businesswomen, managers, and independent women in Israel!) will take place digitally from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. I'll be opening with a lecture that usually blows a few minds/drops some knowledge bombs/slaps everyone who isn't yet in the AI game. This is a special lecture that has never been given over Zoom until now. It's free, so there aren't many excuses. In the following video, there's a short and random excerpt from my lecture at last year's BMeniv conference (this year I won't be lecturing, no business just pleasure, so there will be time for conversations): https://lnkd.in/dwAw_z5J

As a result of the war, the Israeli defense industry and defense-tech companies have been at the forefront. In an article for Calcalist כלכליסט, Ofir Gomeh of Capital Nature explains how these companies can contribute to a more sustainable future 🌍

Today, I came across a concerning trend that made me reflect on the state of our tech ecosystem. Despite the hype and excitement surrounding Israeli startups in recent years, the number of new technological entrepreneurship ventures has been on a steady decline. This downward trajectory persisted even during the explosive growth of 2020 and 2021. It's disheartening to witness the decrease in new early-stage tech companies sprouting into our ecosystem. The challenges we face seem to go beyond temporary economic crises or societal issues. The root causes may lie in how our government and investor communities are approaching sector strategies and regulations. As a part of the Israeli startup nation, it's crucial for us to address these underlying issues to ensure the continued growth and success of our tech industry. Keeping this trend going is not an option for our ecosystem, and it is maybe one of the most important challenges we need to think about in the near future. This graph came from the Israeli Innovation Authority's 2023 annual summary report and IVC data.

The current geopolitical landscape suggests an escalating threat of nuclear weapon utilization, particularly along the Ukrainian frontier. This is exemplified by Russia's announcement of a significant nuclear exercise targeting Ukraine, as of the declaration date on May 22, 2024. Tune in to Israel's official channel, Kan 11, to hear my perspective analyzing this situation on "The World Today" show.

CASE STORY - PART 3 - End-2-End analytics ---- So, let's continue our journey. This time I'm gonna tell you about quite an interesting thing - end-2-end analytics, and how we implemented it in Tel Aviv Medical Center - T.A.M.C Ltd. (actual report on the cover, to give you the brief idea what's it's all about 😊) That was one of their main pains when we first met, and also one of the most useful instruments a private clinic can use to improve their marketing. So, to all the CMOs, digital marketing specialists etc. - I would definitely recommend you to check it out. https://lnkd.in/e5-XxdiE #healthcareIT #HealthIT #DigitalHealth #e2eanalytics

Reichman University is the leading incubator of academic entrepreneurship in Israel and the world. The data speaks for itself: last week a study by Prof. Ilya Strebulaev from Stanford University was published and found that startups of founders who studied at Reichman University, and received an investment from a US venture capital fund, are 11.3% more likely to reach unicorn status. According to the research findings, Reichman University is ranked second in the world (!). The study included only universities outside the US. The young Reichman University has produced 14 companies that have become unicorns, and in relation to its size and age, this is an unprecedented number. The findings emphasize the significant contribution of Reichman University, specifically the Adelson School of Entrepreneurship to the global technology and business industry, and its central role in the success of the State of Israel as a global technology leader!
