The LinkedIn Mistake That's Keeping You From Getting Hired With Miranda VonFricken
Jun 02, 2026
If you're applying to roles and not hearing back, your resume might not be the problem. Your LinkedIn might be.
Miranda VonFricken, LinkedIn strategist and author of Own Your Awesome, joins Irina to break down what recruiters are actually seeing when they land on your profile and why most job seekers are invisible without realizing it. This isn't theory. Miranda spent years on the recruiting side watching qualified candidates lose opportunities because their presence didn't match their potential.
The conversation covers what's changed with the algorithm, how to build visibility without screaming "hire me," and why showing up authentically on LinkedIn is now a career strategy, not just a nice-to-have.
