Overview

The creator explains her step-by-step process for landing a full-time job through networking on LinkedIn, rather than by mass-applying. She breaks down her strategy into three main steps: 1) following the right people (recruiters, experts, hiring managers), 2) sending a compelling "elevator pitch" DM when a relevant role appears, and 3) actively engaging on the platform to build relationships. She provides examples, including a template for the DM and a personal anecdote about a creative message she sent to a CEO, and concludes with a call-to-action for viewers to comment for a more detailed guide.

Transcript

How I landed a full time job this year in the worst job market. And I didn't get it by sending out hundreds of applications. I got it through networking. Here's a step by step breakdown of how I did it. Step one, you're gonna use LinkedIn to your advantage and start following three types of people. One are recruiters that are in your field. Two, experts. Three, any hiring managers or anyone higher up at your target companies. Don't connect best because they get a million requests a day. You just wanna follow them. For example, creative people people have recruiters that are specialized by field. And they're always posting roles on their feed. And when you come across a role you're qualified for, don't just say I'm interested. You wanna send a really quick elevator pitch. Who you are and what you do, where you work, your impact as it relates to the role, and why you're excited for the role itself. And don't be afraid to show some personality. I once messaged a CEO with the subject line shooting my shot, and he replied to the exact person I should be talking to. Step three, actually network and show up on LinkedIn. Comment on worst no people start to recognize your name and build real relationships. If someone works at your dream company, send a curious, not transactional message like, I love the work your team has been doing at x company. I'm curious how you got into this space. And in my experience, people are more likely to say yes to those types of chats than when Rank about a job. And last but not least, be patient. I only landed this role because I checked all of their boxes, but also because my own purpose aligned with their mission. And given this competitive job market, that's exactly what it takes to stand out these days. If you want the full step by step breakdown and a list of recruiters, as well as message templates, comment job, and I'll send it to you.
