How I went from getting ghosted to getting noticed

Hey ,

A few years ago, I was doing everything “right.” Sending out job applications every day, polishing my resume, waiting, and waiting.

No replies. No interviews. Just silence.

That’s when I realized the problem wasn’t my resume - it was my visibility. Recruiters can’t hire you if they don’t see you.

Here’s what changed everything for me:

When I started using LinkedIn strategically - showing my work, sharing what I was learning, and connecting with people in my field - opportunities started finding me. Not the other way around.

Now I’ve built a career through LinkedIn, grown an audience of 4.5K followers, and had over 1M+ views on my posts about job hunting and personal branding.

If you haven’t already, I put together a free LinkedIn Glow-Up Checklist - it walks you through 5 quick fixes to make your profile stand out to recruiters. Check it out here.

And I’m building something new - a program for students and job seekers who are tired of applying into the void and want to finally get noticed.

It’s called Get Seen, Get Hired - a 4-week visibility camp where you’ll learn how to:

✅ Optimize your profile so recruiters actually find you
✅ Build credibility (even if you’re starting from zero)
✅ Turn your LinkedIn into your biggest job search advantage

We’re opening early access soon - and our waitlist gets first dibs and a special offer.

If you’ve been putting yourself out there but still feel invisible, this is your chance to change that.

P.S. Since launching Kaie, we’ve helped over 4,000 students and job seekers stand out and get noticed. This program pulls together what’s worked best — and we’re so excited to finally share it.
