Summary
You've optimized your LinkedIn profile. You have the right keywords, the right headline, the right summary. You're applying to listings that match your experience. You're posting content to stay visible. And nothing is happening. This week I'm telling you why. LinkedIn is not a job hunting platform — it's social media for people who are at work.
