The Value and Impact of Manipulating Keywords in Your LinkedIn Profile
The podcast explores the story of Joey, a business analyst who used a LinkedIn hack by artfully incorporating keywords like 'Harvard Business' into his profile. This resulted in an influx of talent recruiters reaching out to him, assuming he had received an MBA from Harvard. However, Joey had never attended Harvard Business School. The story highlights the potential network optic value of certain degrees and the assumptions made by hiring managers. It also underscores the importance of authentic experiences and non-traditional backgrounds in standing out.
