#36 - Using LinkedIn For Your Job Search

The new Jobseeking is Hard is out now and the topic you voted for is LinkedIn!

A subscriber wants to know if they *really* need a LinkedIn profile since using the platform is "severely crushing [their] will to live."

Plus more of your Stupid Interview Questions, a jobseeking horror story about getting ghosted after multiple interviews (and a case study), and a story about a Covid layoff that might've been for the best

Don't forget about the free job boards, including HR & Recruiting roles courtesy of iCIMS. So. Many. Remote/Hybrid. Jobs.

And don't forget, join our new LinkedIn group, the Jobseeking is Hard Community! If you're looking for a job, this group is for you. Here you can freely talk about your job search...the ups, the downs, the frustrations, what works, what doesn't work. It's an unlisted group, meaning it doesn't appear in search results for non-group members and is not visible to others on members’ profiles. This community is here to help each other, passing on leads and ideas. And most importantly, support, encouragement, and empathy.

Enjoying the newsletter? Let people know! Forward it, tweet it, post it, whatever.....the bigger the discussion, the better! The idea is to help as many people as possible, so tag me and help me get the word out :) Sharing is caring, and you never know who could use the advice!
