I’m at my wit’s end saying this, but I really need help 😅. I’ve been applying for roles and it feels like my resume just disappears into a black hole.
Has anyone especially any LinkedIn experts - found a trick, hack, or tip to actually get noticed by recruiters or hiring managers?
Also, any advice on customizing LinkedIn profiles so they clearly signal recruiters would mean a lot. Please share 🙏

What helped me was looking at 5 or so job listings for the same role and noticing a lot of the common language and terminology. I then added those verbatim to my LinkedIn, resume and portfolio.

The initial screening is just checking off boxes based on the job description, so mirroring the language they use can help.

Is your resume tweaked to combat the algos with key words?

*Ignore the crappy third party recruiting company that posted this though.

Try to find the recruiter or TA on the role. If you can’t find the exact one, reach out to other recruiters within the company and say you applied. This is your chance to stand out and get noticed in the event your application does get lost in the mix.

5+ years of full-time job as developer and still waiting to reverse a LinkedList at work.

Since there is a heavy impetus on solving Tree, LinkedList, and Graph problems for tech interviews, it can naturally make freshers believe that these concepts will be used in day-to-day life at work. In reality, most of these DSA concepts are already implemented in some libraries our code uses and we rarely have to code such Algorithms by hand.
