Dear Job Seeker –
You’ve heard that you should use LinkedIn as a job seeker. But you log into the platform, and it is confusing.
One person is telling you to post every day to feed the algorithm.
Another person is telling you that you need to spam 50 people with connection requests.
And yet another person is telling you that LinkedIn is a dead old platform full of ghost jobs and stuffy, corporate types like those depicted in the TV show Mad Men.
It's confusing and I get it.
Let's get something straight however: you SHOULD use LinkedIn. But not the stress-inducing way people advise that you use it.
The job market has evolved.
In today’s dynamic job market, depending on a killer resume ALONE isn’t enough.
97% of recruiters use LinkedIn to find candidates (Forbes).
64% of recruiters rely solely on it.
According to one study, not being able to “find” you online is a potential deal-breaker for 47% of employers.
The old ways of applying to jobs simply don’t work as well as they used to.
The old reality required you to:
Submit a resume
Believe that your work will speak for itself without you tooting your own horn
Attend job fairs and informational sessions so you can hand out paper resumes
Go to stiff and uncomfortable networking events to meet people you might not even like
Apply to hundreds of jobs and “hope” something opens up for you.
Here’s what the new reality looks like:
Use your LinkedIn profile to showcase that you’re a great candidate for the kind of role you want
Optimize your LinkedIn profile with keywords that allow you to show up in recruiter searches
Tapping into a “warm” network in a more efficient and non-sleazy way
Having recruiters find you, instead of you begging for attention.
Recruiters now see your LinkedIn profile as a human extension of your resume – a narrative that blends your skills, passions, experiences, and causes you care about – with the individual they might be interested in hiring.
And when you've optimized it well, it can become an incredibly useful opportunity magnet.
And no, this has nothing to do with you becoming some kind of “LinkedIn Creator” or “Influencer" who posts every day.
I want to teach you how to be proactive about your career - by leveraging LinkedIn - and how doing so will help you for life.

Hello! I am Dr. Gertrude Nonterah.
And like you, I was that job seeker who kept hitting wall after wall, even though I had a Ph.D and two bachelor’s degrees.
After learning that it wasn’t necessarily my resume or experience that was the problem, I decided to get serious with LinkedIn.
It was like a light bulb switching on when I intentionally crafted a LinkedIn profile that would help me attract the job in medical communications that I wanted.
Ever since I discovered the life-changing power of a well-optimized LinkedIn profile, I haven’t looked back.
Job seeking doesn’t have to feel painful and I’d like to help you with that.
