I’ve just launched Get Hired.
A free community for people who are job searching and fed up with applying into a black hole.
Practical advice. Real support. No fluff.
If you’re trying to get hired in 2026, this is for you 👇
2 nil down after 4 minutes at Old Trafford. Man United look terrible. Fair to say this is Carrick's last match.
I often think about how young my father was when he went to war.
He served as an officer in the Royal Navy during the Second World War and saw action in the North Sea, the Atlantic, the Mediterranean and the Asia Pacific.
Some of what he went through as a very young man stayed with him for the rest of his life.
That’s something I think about every Remembrance Sunday.
For many who came home, the war was still very much part of their lives decades later.
Both my grandfathers saw action too.
My paternal grandfather was awarded the Military Cross and the Distinguished Service Order for his actions in the First World War.
He later received an OBE for his service leading the evacuation of British troops from Saint-Nazaire in the early years of the Second World War.
I’m incredibly proud of them.
When we stop for two minutes today, I’ll be thinking of them and of those who never came home as well as the families who spent years waiting for news or learning to live without someone they loved.
So much of what we’re free to do today feels ordinary because we’ve always been able to do it. We have grown up knowing no different.
It’s easy to go about our lives without thinking about what that cost other people.
Remembrance Sunday gives us a moment to do exactly that.
We owe them so much.

Get Hired Show - AI Special 🤖 nitter.gq/i/broadcasts/1nJOLQZXD…
Everyone’s using AI to write their CV and soon every recruiter will be using AI to ignore it.
Have I got that right?
Your LinkedIn profile has two audiences.
Most people only write for one.
Audience 1: Humans.
The Hiring Manager. The former colleague. The person who clicks your name after you comment on their post.
Audience 2: The Search Bar.
Recruiters searching by job title, skills, location, keywords. Filtering by who's "Open to Work" (the recruiter only version, the one your boss can't see!!).
Most profiles are written for Audience 1.
A clever headline. A heartfelt About section. A banner photo of a mountain.
All very nice but if Audience 2 can't find you, Audience 1 never gets the chance to meet you.
Recruiting is changing fast.
LinkedIn Recruiter keeps getting smarter.
LinkedIn's AI Hiring Assistant now goes even further: it reads profiles, matches them against a role and puts a shortlist in front of a recruiter before anyone has even written a job ad.
Think about that for a second.
People are getting interviews for jobs that were never advertised. Not because they applied but because they were found.
The best candidates aren't always the ones who apply. Increasingly, they're the ones who are easy to find.
So here's the fix:
→ Use the job titles people actually search for, not your company's internal name for your role
→ Load your skills section properly. It isn't decoration, it's data
→ Put the right keywords in your headline and About section, naturally
→ Switch on Open to Work for recruiters if you're looking
→ Stay active. Consistent activity tells both humans and the algorithm you're worth a look
Write for the human. Optimise for the search.
Do both and the right opportunity has a much better chance of finding you first.
Which audience is your profile written for right now? 👇
Some meetings deserve a post.
This one deserves a little mystery....
A special meeting in London today, somewhere I won’t name just yet.
Where was I? Who was I meeting? And what were we talking about?
Prize for the best answer!! 👇
I’ll leave you to speculate for now…
Let’s start with the location.
Can you guess where? 👇
