Still applying online and getting ghosted? It’s time to shift your strategy. Most job seekers rely on job boards, but here’s the truth: the majority of job offers come from referrals and relationships—not cold applications.

In this episode, I’ll walk you through how to activate (or re-activate) your networking strategy and finally tap into the hidden job market. You’ll learn:

✅ The 3 steps top candidates are using to get in the door
✅ How to reconnect with your existing network the right way
✅ How to use informational interviews to open up unlisted opportunities
✅ Plus, I’ll share a plug-and-play LinkedIn message template to help you get started today

Ready to stop being invisible in your job search? Listen now and take the first step toward standing out where it matters most.
