While this assignment was assigned almost three weeks ago, I was deceived to first reach out to the main five companies that were highly skilled in the business I am trying to get into. I reached out to five of these companies, which were:
- Chegg
- Tutor.com
- Skooli
- Cub Z
- Wyzant
I was more focused in speaking to someone from Wyzant because that was like my main competitor, I did everything I could possibly do to at least speak to someone on the inside, I searched up some of the people working at wyzant on linkedin, I sent out emails to their information centers, I found a number that I could call and I actually got to speak to someone but they didn’t have an inside connection to talk to one of the actual people who built/created wyzant, they only has access to tutors who are registered under the company. So Wyzant was a failure and I was sad about that because this is my first time hearing about them while I was doing research on this assignment.
Although I was interested in speaking to a candidate from Wyzant, I really thought Chegg would at least answer me from their customer representative line or email because that is a company I am familiar with, but they did.
As none of the top five competitors got back to me I started reaching out to other secondary competitors and start up, I will list down all the companies I reached out to.
- Varsity Tutors
- Babbette moore – this was a home private tutoring
- Insta edu
- Kurslab
- Testive
- Toppr
- Tutting
- Turtee
- Ziizoo
- Moodle
- Tutor Vista
- Everly
- Flip Class
I believe these were all the companies I reached out to from my sent emails.
Good News!!! I got to interview someone last Tuesday 23rd and I will make a new post about it.
Exciting! Lot of effort and something finally paid off.
