I stumbled across this article when one of my posts went viral yesterday. Hope this helps you on building your brand! TLDR: Do, to favor the LinkedIn algorithm: - Use 1200–1600 characters for your post; that’s about ~170 to 400 words - With the ‘catch’ at the start, before the ‘read more’ cut-off after three lines - Use three to five #. Check the sources for all details to balance between the big trending # and more personal ones. No dependency on where in your post you use the #; it can be anywhere - Personal stories and employer branding work best - Emoticons rock; maximum ten in total, with a maximum of four per line - Use selfies (yes, ugh) (+80 to 90% reach) - If you tag and it’s a company, make sure the company reacts within one hour (2x the reach as when a person is tagged and reacts). This is especially relevant for recruiters and employees who (re)post a job vacancy - For companies: use the option: ‘notify employees’ or ‘recommend to employees’ via the three dots. If they share within four hours, you have +30% growth Don’t annoy the LinkedIn algorithm: - Don’t edit within the first ten minutes after posting; this destroys your reach (updated in May) - Don’t comment on your own post within the first two hours (-20% reach if it’s within) - Don’t post twice in 18h (-15%) or three times in 18h (-30%) - Don’t add a link in the comment after one hour (-20%) or edit a post after one hour (-10%). If you need to, wait a bit longer

I’m breaking down the exact system I used to go from a new grad with a 2.58 GPA, a bio degree, and a job in healthcare… To landing interviews at Google and Twitter and an offer from Microsoft that 2x'd my salary. It's also the same system we've used with hundreds of our clients, helping them see these types of results in the past six months: 💰 Average Raise: $43,000+ 🧭 Average Time To Offer: 81 Days ✅ Offers at Amazon, Salesforce, TripAdvisor, Phillips, AMEX, and more. Don’t just take my word for it though. Thousands of people have used the free material from this masterclass to land job offers.

Job seeking is tough. It’s easy to feel undervalued, especially when faced with rejections or a lack of responses. But remember this: your worth is not defined by a job or the lack thereof. You have unique skills and experiences that make you valuable. Just because an employer doesn't see it right now doesn’t mean it's not there. Your self-worth goes beyond a job title. It’s about who you are as a person, your resilience, and your potential. Here are a few things to keep in mind: Recognize Your Strengths: Make a list of your skills, achievements, and qualities. Reflecting on these can boost your confidence and remind you of your value. Seek Support: Talk to a friend, family, or mentors who believe in you. Their encouragement can be incredibly uplifting. Stay Positive: Reframe setbacks as learning opportunities. Every experience, even the challenging ones, helps you grow. Keep Pushing Forward: The right opportunity is out there. Stay persistent and keep improving your approach. You deserve a job that values you for who you are. Don’t settle for less or let the job search diminish your self-worth. Have you struggled with recognizing your worth during your job search? How did you overcome it? I would love to hear it ⤵
