Hey friends,
In my last two emails, I talked about something most people don’t realize until they’re already burned out from job searching:
By the time a role is posted publicly, the decision-making process is usually well underway:
Teams have already discussed the need.
Names have already been mentioned.
Internal referrals are already being considered.
The job post isn’t the starting line. It’s the cleanup phase.
That’s why just “trying harder” rarely ever works in job searches.
Because more often than not… even if you’re the first person to apply, you’re already LATE.
And it’s also why vague advice like “network more” feels so frustrating.
Most people don’t know who to talk to, what to say, or how to do it without feeling awkward or transactional.
The problem isn't effort, a lack of confidence, or lacking the right mindset.
You don’t need more motivational posts, you need a clear, repeatable strategy.
Which is exactly why I put together 30 Days to More Interviews: The LinkedIn Job Search Guide.
This isn’t about becoming a content creator, sending cold pitches, or asking strangers for favors.
It’s a practical roadmap for using LinkedIn the way hiring teams and recruiters are already use it.
Inside the guide, you’ll learn:
How to optimize your profile so recruiters can actually find you
A systematic way to build 500+ relevant, strategic connections
How to become visible to decision-makers without posting every day
The exact approach for turning online connections into real coffee chats
A simple 30-day roadmap that positions you for interviews
By the end, you won’t just understand how LinkedIn hiring works; you’ll know exactly what to do each week to put yourself in the right conversations at the right time.
After 30 days, this usually looks like:
A profile that works for you in the background
A network that’s relevant, not random
Visible signals that you’re active in your industry
2–4 real conversations with people who can open doors
And this isn’t just about securing your next job. (Although it will absolutely help you achieve that!)
It's about building something that keeps working for you, so that you’re never starting from zero again.
If you’re ready to stop applying into the void, and want a clear plan to start getting interviews instead, you can find the guide here:
P.S. This isn’t about hacks or shortcuts. It’s about understanding how hiring actually works and positioning yourself accordingly.
