As she knows that these options are not available to everyone, the woman gives a list of tips to anyone can use on LinkedIn.

“But here’s a couple of tricks on LinkedIn that you can use to find the right people. Go on LinkedIn and type ‘hiring’ and the role you’re looking for” she said.

Adding: “Then filter by post. A lot of hiring managers will post about role’s you are looking for, they will never actually post it on the website.”

Another tip she gives is to filter by industry, with the aim of finding a post that looks interesting.

“Message the hiring manager and ask to learn more about the role and share your qualifications,” she said.

Another added: “’ I’ve been on indeed all my life until I got on LINKEDIN and got a job that changed my life after 2 months of making my profile.”

“It’s not about what you know, who you know instead! I learned it in a hard way” added a third.
