Ever got well-meaning advice from a friend, mentor, or online job search ‘guru’, only to be further disappointed in your job search?

Here are the 5 most common mistakes our clients were making before they joined THE FEARLESS HIRE, and what they did instead to land $200k+ interviews.

👉 Mistake #1: Keep Resume Length to 1 Page.
While brevity works for entry-level jobs, one page won’t cut it if you aspire to leadership roles.

Our clients create highly optimized two-page resumes that include the right keywords and clearly highlight the scope and impact of their work.

👉 Mistake #2: Network with Recruiters.
Recruiters get 100s if not 1000s of requests to “kindly review my Resume” every single day. Plus they have limited to no say in the hiring process.

Instead, our clients bypass them altogether by using our proven plug-n-play networking scripts, landing direct conversations with hiring managers.

👉 Mistake #3: Use Current Job Titles
Your actual job title (the weird one that your company gave you) is destroying your job search and making it impossible for recruiters to find you on LinkedIn.

Our clients align their current titles with industry-relevant titles for their target roles, instantly 10X their searchability and positioning themselves as the top candidate for leadership positions.

👉 Mistake #4: Post Daily on LinkedIn.
Job seekers are told to post daily on LinkedIn to boost their visibility. Not only is this a massive waste of time (are you trying to build a brand??), posting on LinkedIn is intimidating and overwhelming for most, so you do absolutely nothing at all.

Our clients learn how to game LinkedIn using our Commenting Strategy to 2X their visibility in just 10 minutes a day.

👉 Mistake #5: Use Current Location on LinkedIn.
Since most companies have returned to office or at least hybrid, keeping your LinkedIn location tied to where you live restricts your opportunities.

Our clients strategically list target locations to capture the biggest Tech hubs, significantly increasing their chances of landing an interview for their target companies.

With full-time jobs and young kids to care, our clients don’t have time to waste on ineffective tactics.

Instead, they use our proven step-by-step system to land multiple interviews at companies like Meta, Amazon, Google, and Apple within a few days of joining THE FEARLESS HIRE.
