224: This Recruiter Became a Data Analyst DESPITE No Experience

You just started this job, so w- w- I'm not gonna ask you, like, what you do on a day-to-day basis or what tools you use 'cause you will, you will figure that out as you go, uh, through, through this job down through the future.

You know, one of the things that you posted in the community when you landed this job, kind of announcing this, like, two to three weeks ago, um, you know, one of the...

You gave some advice to the rest of our, our students.

One of the things you said is build something you are generally curious about, and I think we talked about that, um, here.

Yeah.

Another thing that you, you talked about was stay consistent on LinkedIn even when engagement is low.

Can you talk through, like, why you feel like it's important to, to post on LinkedIn and, and to kinda get yourself out that way?

I'ma keep it short.

That's what re- recruiters see when you apply for a job on LinkedIn.

Just honestly, like, if, if you're active, if you're posting.

It's kinda like a...

I wanna call LinkedIn, like, a mini resume/Facebook page because you, you can post memes.

You can post something about work.

But just staying active really means a lot, and you, you never know.

Maybe you're, you, you go viral on the post, right? And you get noticed by that from re- different recruiters.

And I was getting reached out by recruiters, but they were not good roles, just being honest.

[laughs] But none of my posts went viral at all.

I think the max that I got was, like, nine reactions, 12.

But I, I did notice a big difference in my connections and people messaging me.

Even though it looks like it's, like, a ghost town on my LinkedIn page, [laughs] it did make a difference, and I'm really grateful that I was pushing for at least two months straight, posting almost every day, like, Monday through Friday.

It helped me out, boost my visibility on LinkedIn.

Yeah.

Very cool.

I like that you said that that's what recruiters see.

It doesn't matter if it only, you know, if you get 12 likes and it gets, you know, 800 impressions.
