About this episode

E473: How to optimize LinkedIn so that recruiters and employers reach out to you nonstop.

In 2016 I used these LinkedIn hacks to go from unemployable to super in-demand in literally within a month. And a month later I had a job at one of the best marketing agencies in the world.

Then I wrote an article on the hacks and optimizations I used, and many others then used them to get the same results.

So this is how to optimize your LinkedIn in 2024 so that recruiters and employers are reaching out to you, looking to hire you for great full-time positions.
