Over 87% of recruiters use LinkedIn to source and hire candidates— is your profile ready? If your profile isn't optimized, you're probably missing out on some amazing job opportunities before the competition or, worse, losing out on the chance to interview with your dream company because of your lackluster profile. Transform your LinkedIn profile, land at the top of recruiters' search results, and build your network with step-by-step instructions in The LinkedIn Lab.
You're actively (or passively) looking for a new job and haven't had any luck landing an interview. Basically, your LinkedIn Profile isn't helping you catch the eye of recruiters.
Your LinkedIn is beyond basic, you don't have a lot of time to update it, and you need something impressive before you can connect with a hiring manager on LinkedIn.
You want to be ready and prepared with an optimized LinkedIn profile so job leads will come to you.
The list of do's and don'ts for your LinkedIn profile leave you yelling "I. Just. Can't." We've simplified the entire process. Promise.
"LinkedIn has always been somewhat of a mystery to me from a recruiter standpoint, but I always thought I had a pretty good profile. After completing this course, I realize how little I actually understood about LinkedIn. Lauren and team include tons of resources from worksheets to get the most out of each bullet point, to sample emails, and even background options, which make the process easy and fun. After going through the course once and making updates, I have already received more profile views and turned up in more search results than ever before."

"During the process of applying for my MBA, I was very overwhelmed by all of the tasks I needed to complete. Thankfully the universe sent me to Career Contessa’s wonderfully helpful LinkedIn Lab—within a few hours my profile was miles ahead of the copy & paste mess I started out with. I now have full confidence in my LinkedIn page and am proud to send future employers and schools to check it out!"

"So glad I signed up for this course! The LinkedIn Lab course and accompanying workbook were comprehensive and everything was broken down into easy to follow steps. I was even able to make some updates in real time, while I watched certain lessons. Lauren does a wonderful job of explaining all the best ways to get the most out of LinkedIn and shares great examples to help get you moving on your own profile!"

"It truly does work! Shortly after I finished it, I got called about a position. I am now starting the new position on Monday. I went from not getting any contacts on LinkedIn within my job scope, to getting contacted by two companies within a week. I used some of the information from the lab on my resume as well, and have also had compliments on this."

"At first, I was unsure about taking the LinkedIn Lab course, but the video lessons and workbook helped me craft a profile that was generating leads within a few days! The video content is clear, easy to follow and can be implemented into your own profile as you go along. The workbook helped immensely with creating a summary that I could be proud of, and the templates allowed me to connect with professionals in and out of my network in a sophisticated manner. If you want a polished profile that demonstrates your unique professional skills and generates leads, the LinkedIn Lab is the way to go!"

Hi, I'm Lauren McGoodwin. I lead Career Contessa, an online platform that helps women build successful careers. I launched Career Contessa after experiencing my own professional struggles working in a job I hated and feeling hopeless about what career I should pursue to be happy. Through trial and error, I figured out a strategy for transitioning to a new industry and company and I successfully landed a job as a recruiter at Hulu with no formal recruiting experience. Loving my job and company was a game-changer for my overall happiness and confidence.
As a recruiter, I screened thousands of resumes, interviewed candidates in a variety of roles, and learned the ins and outs of what made a candidate a successful applicant, what impressed hiring managers, and what mistakes were immediate deal-breakers. This insight helped me launch Career Contessa to offer women real, actionable advice based on how job searches really work and how the workplace really operates.
Through Career Contessa and our professional development platform, we're bringing these strategies, tips, and resources directly to you to help you make positive career changes quickly. If you know you need to improve your LinkedIn profile but you just don't know how to get started, or your LinkedIn profile hasn't been gaining the attention you think you deserve as a professional, I'm here to help you.
