The Job Search

Rodney started working with Ramped in July of 2023, looking for Sales Development Representative roles. 

We loved working with Rodney and you can read more about his experience with Ramped below. 

The Ramped Experience

Rodney had this to say about improving his resume and Linkedin profile by working with us:

My resume beforehand was probably at a seven. I would say it wasn't terrible, but I wasn't getting any hits. Maybe a seven versus a ten when Ramped got a hold of it. And then my LinkedIn profile too, I was just trying different things. I didn't know what I was doing. It was a huge help to be able to go through it from top to bottom.

Rodney also took what he learned from our team, taking huge initiative outside of the Ramped applications to level up his job search:

The results I got during the job search were awesome. What it did was it just supercharged the whole thing. I was applying beforehand. But when I started seeing the Automatic Applier and seeing the list of all the jobs and who's applying, who's rejecting, who's responding, what that did was it just completely switched something in me where I automatically felt like there was homework attached to this list on my part. So I took that as an opportunity to start reaching out personally to these companies.

"In addition to Ramped, I kept applying on the side too. What Ramped did was give me the confidence to reach out and actually seek these people out. From the Automatic Applier, I got three or four interviews and then outside of that cumulatively, I’ve gotten ten or twelve."

Lastly, he had this to say about our team and program:

"The updates were constant. It was awesome all the way through. I learned a ton. The market is tough. But I feel like what I learned, the education that I got throughout the whole process, was worth the price of entry."

The Results

Rodney saw amazing progress in his job search after working with Ramped, including:

  • Saved 50+ hours of time preparing and applying for jobs
  • 3-4 interviews directly through Ramped applications and 10-12 total interviews generated after working with our team
  • Increased confidence and knowledge for his job search
