Hello Everyone & Happy Tuesday!

We’re excited to announce a new series we’ve been working on called Work It DAILY Expert Sessions. In each session, J.T. O’Donnell sits down with an expert from our PRO VOICE Academy to discuss an important topic in their industry. We talk with experts from a wide range of experiences and backgrounds, so there’s always something for everyone. Watch the first session below!

Recruiters do not scroll LinkedIn looking for good people. They type keywords into a search box and work down the results. If your headline does not contain the words they type, you are not losing to better candidates. You were never in the search at all, and nobody will ever tell you that.

In this live 30-minute session, J.T. will give you the exact formula she uses with her own clients. You will learn:

- Why your job title is the worst thing you can put in your headline
- The five or six skill sets that belong there instead, and how to pull them straight off your resume
- Three things that quietly signal "overqualified" and get you passed over before anyone reads your experience
- How to check whether your new headline actually surfaces in a recruiter search

This week, three of my clients landed brand new jobs.

And when I asked each of them the same question, "What do you think was the single biggest thing that got you this job?" they all gave me the exact same answer.

I've been coaching people through career changes for over 20 years, and I want to talk about what's actually working in one of the toughest job markets I've seen in a long time.

How Three Job Seekers All Got Recruiters to Come to Them

All three of these clients are part of my coaching program, where members get unlimited access to me and my team, plus our Jumpstart program that teaches them what's actually working right now to get recruiters knocking on their door.

Here's what happened. All three had recruiters reach out to them directly on LinkedIn saying, essentially, "I think we have a job you'd be a great fit for." They interviewed for the roles and got hired.

So when I asked what got them the offer, every single one of them said the same thing: they nailed the interview. And the reason they nailed the interview? It was because of what they'd been posting on LinkedIn.

Your LinkedIn Posts Are Secretly Your Interview Prep

Let me say that again, because it's the whole point. The way I taught them to post on LinkedIn (what to say, how to comment) was actually preparing them for the interview before it ever happened. By the time they sat down with a hiring manager, they already knew how to talk about their own value.

This is what I call building your credibility footprint.

Here's why this matters so much right now. Recruiters are doing something called “quiet hiring,” which means they're not posting jobs publicly anymore. They're drowning in fake, AI-generated resumes and way too many applicants for every posting; they can’t keep up with it anymore.

So instead, they're going straight to LinkedIn to search for candidates themselves. And when you document your knowledge the right way on LinkedIn, you become findable. That's how the algorithm surfaces you. That's how recruiters land in your inbox instead of the other way around.

It's Not About Posting More. It's About Posting Smart.

Now, I know what some of you are thinking. Posting on LinkedIn feels cringey. Awkward. Like you're bragging into the void.

That's exactly why what we teach isn't "post more." It's what to post, what to say, and how to say it so it doesn't feel forced or embarrassing. When my clients posted their own thoughts, ideas, and experiences using the game plan we gave them, they were building their brand AND simultaneously rehearsing how to talk about themselves in front of a recruiter.

And it showed. One client told me the hiring manager said she was the most articulate candidate they'd interviewed. She said no one had ever told her that before. Another got a 40% pay increase over the job he'd been laid off from because he walked in clearly understanding not just the role but also how to talk about it in the language hiring managers actually respond to.

You Know How to Do the Job. Do You Know How to Talk About It?

Here's the truth I tell my clients all the time. I guarantee you understand how to do the job you're going for. But if you can't articulate that in the language recruiters and hiring managers are listening for, you're going to keep getting passed over. Learning to document your knowledge the right way on LinkedIn is one of the best ways to prepare for that conversation before you're ever in the room.

Want Help Figuring Out Exactly What to Post?

If you're ready to stop guessing what to say on LinkedIn and start building a presence that actually gets recruiters reaching out to you, that's exactly what we do inside Work It DAILY. Head over to workitdaily.com and become a member. You'll get access to me and my team, real coaching, and a game plan built around what's actually working in today's market, not outdated advice from five years ago.

This is how people are getting hired right now. Don't be the person who scrolls right past this. You could have recruiters in your inbox too.

Go get ‘em!
