Omar Garriott and Jeremy Schifeling, LinkedIn experts and authors of Linked: Conquer LinkedIn. Get Your Dream Job. Own Your Future, combine decades of experience guiding professionals through modern career development.
Drawing from their roles leading LinkedIn’s education team, where they demystified the platform for millions of users, the book distills actionable strategies for optimizing profiles, networking effectively, and mastering job searches.
Garriott’s marketing leadership and Schifeling’s unique journey—from kindergarten teacher to Apple intern, LinkedIn recruiter, and founder of Break into Tech—inform their practical, no-fluff approach to professional branding. Together, they created The LinkedIn Guys, a 5-star-rated online course that complements the book’s framework. Schifeling’s Career Coach GPT further expands on AI-driven career advice, while Garriott’s insights reflect his deep understanding of LinkedIn’s evolving tools.
Praised as a “must-read for professionals at any stage,” Linked has become a trusted resource for jobseekers and career-changers worldwide, leveraging real-world case studies and emerging trends like AI-driven job matching.
Linked by Omar Garriott and Jeremy Schifeling is a career guide offering insider strategies to master LinkedIn for job searching, networking, and personal branding. It reveals how to optimize profiles, leverage algorithms, and navigate Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to attract recruiters. The book combines tactical advice—like crafting keyword-rich summaries—with broader insights on building a professional network that drives career growth.
Job seekers, career changers, and professionals aiming to enhance their LinkedIn presence will benefit most. It’s ideal for recent graduates, mid-career transitions, or executives refining their digital brand. The book also aids recruiters and MBA students seeking to understand modern hiring dynamics.
Yes. Despite LinkedIn’s evolving features, Linked remains relevant for its foundational strategies: optimizing profiles for ATS, tapping into hidden job markets via referrals, and building thought leadership. Endorsed by Harvard and Berkeley experts, it’s a practical toolkit for navigating competitive job landscapes.
The book emphasizes keyword optimization, professional storytelling, and visual branding. It advises using industry-specific terms in headlines and summaries, adding multimedia to showcase work, and aligning profiles with employer search behaviors. Garriott also explains how to avoid common pitfalls, like generic phrasing.
Linked teaches readers to turn weak ties into referrals by engaging with target companies’ content and using LinkedIn’s “Open to Work” features discreetly. It highlights “warm outreach” techniques, such as personalized connection requests and strategic endorsements to build reciprocity.
Garriott stresses consistent messaging across profiles, posts, and interactions. The book guides readers in publishing thought leadership articles, participating in niche groups, and curating a feed that reflects career goals. This establishes credibility and attracts aligned opportunities.
The authors outline “precision job hunting,” focusing on roles matching core skills rather than broad applications. They detail how to use LinkedIn’s job alerts, analyze hiring trends via Company Pages, and decode job descriptions to tailor applications.
For career changers, the book advises rebranding profiles to highlight transferable skills, using LinkedIn Learning to fill skill gaps, and connecting with alumni in target industries. Case studies show how to frame non-linear career paths as assets.
“Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice.” —William Jennings Bryan. This quote underscores the book’s thesis: proactive networking and profile optimization trump passive job searching.
Unlike generic advice, Linked delves into LinkedIn’s mechanics, offering data-driven tactics for beating ATS and algorithmic visibility. It’s more platform-specific than Atomic Habits but complements broader career frameworks like Designing Your Life.
Some argue it overemphasizes LinkedIn’s role in hiring, neglecting offline networking. Others note rapid platform changes may date certain tips, though core principles (e.g., keyword optimization) remain viable.
With LinkedIn hosting 1 billion users and 75% of hires involving social media, Linked’s strategies for algorithmic visibility and remote job hunting remain critical. Updated editions address AI-driven recruitment tools, ensuring ongoing applicability.

In today's job market, shouting into the void with applications feels increasingly futile. The math is brutal: corporate job postings attract 250 applications on average, with recruiters juggling 30-40 open positions simultaneously. They must reject 249 candidates quickly, spending just six seconds per resume. This explains why traditional job hunting fails so spectacularly for most people. The landscape has fundamentally transformed-globalization has increased competition, automation has eliminated traditional roles, and pandemic disruptions have permanently altered workplace expectations. Meanwhile, employers now wield unprecedented technological power, proactively searching for exact matches rather than reviewing unsolicited resumes. The result? Over 40% of new graduates take jobs that don't require degrees-a situation that often persists for a decade. Despite some sectors seeing wage increases during the "Great Resignation," overall job satisfaction remains dismally low. But here's the revelation that changes everything: you're not powerless in this new reality. The modern job search isn't about submitting more applications-it's about understanding the hidden rules of a game that's dramatically different from what previous generations played.
