LinkedIn Workshop for UX & Product People: Get Found by Recruiters

Sarah Doody

22 years in UX, Founder, & Author

Optimize your LinkedIn profile content & settings so recruiters can find you

UX recruiters and hiring managers don't browse LinkedIn. They search it. And the content of your profile can make or break if, and where, you show up in search results.

(Note: If you do not work in UX or Product, you can still join. These strategies work for any industry.)

If your profile is complete and nobody is reaching out, that's a red flag you're profile isn't showing up in search results. Or if it is, it's not standing out.

Your LinkedIn profile is like a web page you need to apply SEO to. To get a web page to show up at the top of Google or in AI results, it needs to be optimized. The same applies to your LinkedIn profile.

In this 2-hour live workshop, you'll rewrite key sections of your profile and turn on the settings most people never find, so the right recruiters find you and actually reach out.

We'll cover how write a headline and About section that get you found and clicked, which settings and actions help you stand out, and more.

After the workshop, you'll have 2 weeks of access to:

  • My LinkedIn tutorials, templates, & examples

  • A private community for peer feedback

  • LinkedIn profile critiques for an additional fee
