Erin  Kennedy

I'll admit, at first, I was way too nervous to show up. 

Back when I first joined LinkedIn, I did nothing more than lurk.

I didn't know anyone, save for a handful of colleagues in my industry whom I had gotten to know over the years. 

So, when I finally decided to put some effort into LinkedIn, one of the first people to extend a hand of friendship was my next guest, Jeff Young.

If you haven't heard of Jeff, well, I'd be shocked. 

Jeff Young is one of those rare LinkedIn experts who doesn’t just use the platform--he understands it at a level most people never will. 

Known as “𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗱𝗜𝗻 𝗚𝘂𝗿𝘂,” Jeff has helped thousands of professionals worldwide transform how they show up, connect, and build real traction on the platform. 

He’s mastered LinkedIn’s hidden features, its evolving algorithm, and the mindset shifts job seekers and leaders need to stand out in a noisy digital world. 

In our conversation, Jeff breaks down his signature “𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗣’𝘀” 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵--  Profile, People, and Participate--which has become a trusted roadmap for anyone looking to elevate their presence. 

He shares 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗶𝗽𝘀 executives can put into play immediately, from untapped profile sections to engagement habits that actually move the needle. 

If you’ve ever wondered how to 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗱𝗜𝗻 without feeling pushy or performative, Jeff is the guide you want in your corner. This episode is packed with the kind of actionable wisdom that helps leaders get seen, get remembered, and get results.

“Describe a time when...” 
or
“Share an example of a situation where...”

We’ve all heard these types of behavioral approach questions in an interview. 

I'm sure you've been asked one, if not both, of these.

So, what should your answer be?😳

S.T.A.R. 

⭐️ Situation - Task - Action - Results

S- describe the event or Situation

T- talk about the Task, discussing the challenges

A- describe the Actions you took to overcome the problems, focusing on the skills you used without stating them specifically

R- close with the Results of your efforts

Keep your response to three minutes or less, focusing on the traits the job you are applying for demands.

Have questions about how to use the STAR formula? Shoot me a DM. We can help!

The Fear of Confidence

"Have you ever heard of anyone writing an entire book in just under 6 hours, me either? At least not until today 10-21-2020. 

When you have nothing to do on a 6-hour flight home from Orlando to Seattle, along with no wi-fi and the emotions and feelings that are still so very real from that "traumatic" experience from less than 24 hours ago, I guess you do in fact write a book.

Each and every time we get knocked down is an opportunity to learn and grow and this is what I hope you learn from reading my story. 

Our failures do not define us...but what we do when we fail allows us to flourish."

Guest Speaker | Break Out Speaker

This space… "YOUR HEADLINE" is the place to attract Recruiters/Hiring Managers | 500+ LinkedIn Client Recommendations | 👉 Jobseekers get better jobs quicker by working with me | Macro Influencer | Outplacement Services

I have helped 321 middle management & C-suite professionals land new careers over the past 8 months. 

Removing the frustration that jobseekers have while applying for job after job, and only getting those darn rejection emails, is what makes setting that alarm for 5am (or sometimes 4am) all worth it.  

I have also been there and done that over and over...

-	I've been that frustrated jobseeker 
-	doing all the wrong things
-	applying for hundreds and hundreds of jobs 
-	getting Ghosted for months and months 


Until I learned… 

-	what to do... but more importantly what not to do
-	how to properly network on LinkedIn 
-	it’s all about applying for targeted jobs 
-      you must have a resume that gets past the ATS 
-	how to get noticed and land that new career 

My previous experience as a Hiring Manager - Grass Roots Recruiter – and Decades of Interviewing have allowed me to craft resumes that tell “your story”.

Let’s face it… searching for a new career should not be stressful but it can and will be without the right tools. And those tools better be sharp…

So, what are those tools???

1)	Resume 
2)	LinkedIn 
3)	Networking 

I will provide you those tools and teach you how to keep them sharp for your entire working career. 

Allowing you to go from rejected to recruited.

Identifying what my clients' strengths are while probing my clients for what they really enjoy doing allows me to craft “their story” and I know how-to best position jobseekers by leveraging LinkedIn and getting you noticed by recruiters. 

And jobseekers get better jobs quicker... by working with me.
