Free Game 🫡

If you are struggling to secure job interviews.

You need to get active on LinkedIn so recruiters and hiring managers can start noticing you.

Making content on LinkedIn is not that hard.

You just need to be a certified corporate yapper like me or have something to talk about.

For example, you can post about how:

“I (you) attended an in-person networking event at the London HQ of Europe’s most funded startup.

Where I (you) had the opportunity to network with industry professionals.”

That’s your first LinkedIn post, word for word, bar for bar.

A quick post with a picture of you at the event, tagging the company and an employee you spoke to…

Then watch how your profile starts getting attention from hella recruiters and hiring managers.

In conclusion:

1. Attend 1 event every week

2. Post about it on LinkedIn

3. Get attention from hiring managers & recruiters

4. Slide into their DMs for tips & virtual chats

5. Get hired in no time!

You can cop FREE tickets for a networking event happening next week with one of our employer partners to get started.
