Dear Hyper,
Thank you for reading Under the Hype. These first months of writing every week have been incredible. We are slowly approaching 150 hypers and it has been a great feeling knowing you are on the other side reading what I have to say.
I don’t know if I have said this before but I don’t like social media too much. I prefer reading the Substacks of some good people over interacting on Twitter or LinkedIn. That is probably not good for Under the Hype growth.
That’s why I’m releasing a referral program for our weekly newsletter. If you enjoy Under the Hype, it would mean the world to me if you invited friends to subscribe and read with us. But I want to return the favor, that’s why I came up with these rewards I’m sure you’ll like it.
If you are currently looking for a new job or want some tips about how to face job applications these rewards could be of particular interest to you. I’m a Senior Software Developer that has been working in companies of all sizes and different roles (Data Scientist, Full-Stack Developer, Team Lead, etc). So, I have some experience applying to jobs (and getting accepted), but in the last two years, I have been sitting on the other side of the table.
I think now I have a good understanding of what works and what doesn’t when applying for a job. So, without further ado, here is my proposal:
How to participate
1. Share Under the Hype. You'll get credit for new subscribers when you use the referral link below or the “Share” button on any post. Send the link in a text, or email, or share it on social media with friends.
2. Earn benefits. You'll receive special benefits when more friends use your referral link to subscribe.
Get a detailed answer to any question for 2 referrals: This one is not just employment-related. It could be any question.
Get your resume reviewed for 4 referrals: A detailed review with suggestions on how to make your resume stand out from the crowd.
Get 30 min call for 8 referrals: A one-to-one Zoom call to talk about any doubts with your job search and applications. If you prefer, we can talk about any other topic!

Thank you for helping get the word out about Under the Hype!
See you next Tuesday!
