Getting seen on LinkedIn is harder than ever, especially if you are over 40 and competing in a world of algorithms, AI, and applicant tracking systems while trying to find A JOB!

Barbara Brooks sits down with Megan Jo Specht, Senior Recruiter at Samsara, to pull back the curtain on how recruiters really use LinkedIn. Megan shares what matters, what gets ignored, and how small changes can dramatically increase your chances of being seen and landing interviews.

We cover

• How recruiters actually find candidates
• Why engagement matters more than you think
• What recruiters see on the backend of LinkedIn
• How to position yourself for interviews without chasing the algorithm

If you are job hunting, career pivoting, or just tired of shouting into the void, this episode is required listening.
