Charlie Roberts first came to me for advice in late 2023 and after a few mentoring sessions, working on CV and cover letters, he told me that he was moving from Australia to the UK and going to try and land a job in sport production. He had no opportunities lined up - but showed the determination and persistence to get a job at IMG.

Debbie Ford believes LinkedIn works best when it feels like a conversation, not a performance. She created The Chichester Social in 2016 to help companies make the most of the platform, because she felt too many treat it like a megaphone. On this episode we talk about how to avoid that and how to maximise the platform for your job search and networking. The key bit of advice? Be authentic.

Debbie's full of more great advice, so give it a listen to help shape your LinkedIn strategy during the very boring job hunt and application process. You can read her blog on whether to pay for the premium service here.
