The article discusses job-seeking strategies, with a focus on leveraging LinkedIn's potential. It highlights the prevalence of ghost jobs, which are postings that attract numerous applicants but result in little to no follow-up. Factors contributing to ghost jobs include the overwhelming volume of applications and companies' reliance on automated systems to process them. The author advises job seekers to create a standout LinkedIn profile and apply quickly to new listings to improve their chances of being noticed.
A polished LinkedIn account with relevant keywords, a professional headshot, and detailed experience can make all the difference.
Ghost jobs are postings that seem real but often lead to no response, or worse, no actual job.
My top tip is to be fast - really fast. Apply within the first few hours of a job posting going live on LinkedIn.
Every job posting gets flooded with applications - 1k+ applications in 24h. Processing them all is a nightmare.
