Elena Marus on How to Succeed as an Unconventional Candidate

​​Join us for a talk hosted by hirehire and our special guest Elena Marus.

​San Francisco, 2019. Andrey Doronichev introduces Kostya to Elena Marus, an experienced Art Director new to the US. Elena seeks advice on landing her next design role and struggles while feeling like an unconventional candidate nobody wants to talk to.

​However, she soon cracks the code, securing multiple offers in a competitive market. Over the next few years, Elena successfully changes positions at well-known companies, from Airtable to Snowflake, even during challenging market conditions.

​How is this even possible?

​Elena believes she's mastered exploiting her "oddness" as a candidate: "I think being extraordinary is easier. When you stop following the rules and step outside the box a little."

​The story was too cool to pass up, so this Friday, October 11th, at 5:00 PM London time, we’re hosting a closed community event where you can hear directly from Elena. Join us for a casual Zoom call where you’ll have the chance to meet her, ask questions, and get personalized feedback.
