In this episode, I break down what people call "the hidden job market" and why I don’t think it’s actually hidden. I share real examples from LinkedIn, Slack, and group chats to illustrate how jobs are often shared outside of traditional job boards like Indeed or ZipRecruiter.

I also talk about why I’m on a mission to help 100 first-gen professionals land high-paying jobs through LinkedIn, and how that mission is tied to a heartbreaking stat about Latino retirement savings.

You’ll also hear:
💡 A story about how a client got a job offer by DM’ing a CEO after a single LinkedIn post
💡 Why that small grocery store near your house might be hiring—and why no one knows
💡 How LinkedIn helped me more than double my salary—and how it can help you too
💡 The 3 best ways to actually tap into this so-called hidden job market

Plus, I invite you to join my LinkedIn Challenge: four-day workshop to help you attract recruiters, land job offers, and actually get seen for how brilliant you are.
