Here’s what you can expect from this episode:
What if the only thing standing between you and your dream Customer Success job is just one tweak to your LinkedIn profile? Here’s the blunt truth… your profile is probably working against you and it’s costing you interviews with recruiters for the roles you actually want. Most job seekers, even the ones with fantastic resumes and proven experience, are invisible to recruiters on LinkedIn, and it’s all because of a handful of silent mistakes hiding right where you least expect them.
In this episode, I break down the six biggest LinkedIn missteps I see over and over again that are killing your job search before it even gets started. I’ll show you why recruiters aren’t seeing you, and exactly how recruiters use LinkedIn’s secret weapon (LinkedIn Recruiter) to filter and find top talent. I walk you through the tiny headline tweaks that make you stand out on page one of results, the overlooked skills and keywords that propel you to the top, the hidden power of recommendations, and even the profile photo mistakes that silently knock you out of consideration. You’ll get practical steps you can implement in real time, so you can finally turn your profile into a job offer magnet.
After this episode, you’ll walk away with total clarity and confidence that your LinkedIn is finally reflecting the powerhouse that you are and recruiters will start reaching out with roles you actually want.
