Hello Everyone & Happy Tuesday!

Tomorrow, Work It DAILY CEO, J.T. O’Donnell, will be hosting a FREE session to teach you how to fix your LinkedIn profile to attract recruiters. J.T. doesn’t do this very often, so you aren’t going to want to miss it! Details are below.

In this LIVE episode of the PRO VOICE Podcast, J.T. O’Donnell will show you how to fix the most important parts of your LinkedIn profile in under 30 minutes so recruiters can understand what you do, what you're good at, and what kinds of opportunities you're a fit for.

You'll learn:

* What recruiters actually look for when they search LinkedIn
* The biggest profile mistakes that can make you harder to find
* How to improve your headline so your hard skills are immediately clear
* What to change in your About section to strengthen your positioning
* How to use the right keywords without stuffing your profile
* Why a great resume isn't enough if your LinkedIn profile isn't recruiter-ready
* The simple changes you can make TODAY to increase your chances of being discovered

The goal isn't to apply to more jobs. It's to make it easier for the right recruiters to find YOU.

Join us LIVE, bring your LinkedIn profile, and follow along as J.T. walks you through the fixes step by step.

Stop chasing recruiters. Start positioning yourself so recruiters can find you.

I've been coaching people through job searches for 20 years now. Bad economies, good economies—I've seen it all. And I'm going to tell you something that almost nobody else is going to explain to you straight: there are two totally different ways companies hire, and if you don't know which one applies to the job you want, you are wasting your time.

I made a video on this recently, and the response was so big I wanted to break it down here too, because this is one of those things that once you understand it, you'll never job search the same way again.

Loud hiring is exactly what it sounds like. It's when a company needs to fill a lot of roles fast, so they put the job on blast everywhere. Think Uber, Amazon, UPS—the companies that need to hire tens or hundreds of people at a time. They post on every job board they can find because they need volume. That's loud hiring, and for a long time, it's just how most recruiters operated by default. Post it, blast it, wait for the applications to roll in.

Quiet hiring is the opposite. It's when a company only needs one person, usually for a specialized role. And here's the key part: they don't post it publicly. Instead, a recruiter goes on a platform like LinkedIn, runs very specific searches to find people who match what they need, and reaches out directly. No job board. No public posting. No thousands of applicants to sort through. Just a targeted tap on the shoulder that says, "Hey, I think you'd be a great fit for something we have open."

Here's what's changed. With AI flooding the market with fake resumes and bots applying to everything in sight, companies that only need to fill one specialized role are done posting publicly. It's not worth the headache of wading through thousands of applications, most of which aren't even real people. So they've shifted to quiet hiring.

This is exactly why those job market data points you keep seeing, the ones about how many jobs are "available," are honestly pretty useless. A huge chunk of specialized roles are never posted at all. If you're out there refreshing job boards every day thinking that's where your next opportunity lives, I need you to hear me on this: the majority of what you're finding is either a scam, a scraped repost, or a listing that's already filled. You are burning hours you don't have.

If you're a specialized worker, someone a company would only need to hire once for, you have to job search differently. That means getting off the job boards and putting your energy into becoming findable and attractive to recruiters who are searching. Your LinkedIn profile isn't a formality anymore; it's your storefront. It needs to be built to show up in those specific searches recruiters are running and to make them stop scrolling when they land on it.

This is the strategy job seekers never make, and it's exactly why so many talented people stay stuck even when they're doing "everything right." They're playing the loud hiring game in a quiet hiring market.
