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!

Executive Resume Writer

WHAT I DO: I write ATS friendly resumes that get past the screeners and into the hands of hiring managers.

WHO I WORK WITH: I partner with leaders on the rise in a variety of industries.

WHY IT WORKS:  We'll work together step-by-step to create a resume that not only gets through ATS but also tells your career story in a way that shows employers how you can be an asset to their company.

WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT: ​There are many companies that focus on getting you past the bots, but a quality resume also has to be written for humans. Every employer has a problem they are trying to solve. The key is to position you as the solution.

HOW IT WORKS: After reviewing your current resume and seeing your target job I'll create your resume in 3 steps, sending you each piece along the way for comments. The total process takes less than a week.
