Get Found, Get Chosen
The résumé an evaluator scans in seconds and the LinkedIn profile a recruiter searches before that, treated as two surfaces of the same record. You audit both, rebuild them field by field, and set a cadence for re-checking them each search cycle. Most of the other courses assume a working document and profile, so this is where that gets built.

Questions about this course
No. The profile work matters more when you are being searched for than when you are applying, which is most of the time at senior levels.
No. The last section prioritizes the changes, and the sprint guide breaks the rebuild into days so you can do it in pieces.
The examples are written generically for a tech audience rather than drawn from one person’s history. The structure is what transfers, and each lesson has a worksheet for applying it to your own material.
Around ten and a half hours of reading if you go straight through, though most people work through it a section at a time alongside an active search.
