Nearly anyone looking for a job today can tell you that sifting through online job postings is a nightmare.
When Natasha Badger, 25, was last on the job market, she tried a different strategy on LinkedIn and landed final-round interviews with three companies in the span of weeks.
Badger, a digital marketer and career-content creator, quit her job with LinkedIn in September 2022 and went the typical route of applying to new ones on online job boards.
Badger tried this with three companies — a big financial institution, an agency and a startup — and made it into the hiring process every time.
"It really was so effective," Badger says of the LinkedIn strategy, "and I was like, 'How is this not something people are doing?'"
