If you aren’t familiar with Linktree, you’re missing out on a free and easy-to-use digital marketing tool that you can apply to your job search.

Created in 2016 out of frustration with social media platform link restrictions (most notably, Instagram), it’s become popular as a catch-all to house all the links in our lives. Think of it as your own personal landing page where you can showcase your work, skills, and contact information by sharing just one link without the hassle of creating a website.

Linktree‘s website says, “Join 25M+ people and share everything you create, curate and sell online. All from the one link in bio.”

How does this apply to a job search?

Because a job search is a marketing campaign where you are selling YOU.

Did you know that just 1.6% to 2.4% of candidates are ever called for an interview?

That’s right. According to the career expert site Zippia.com, the average corporate job opening gets 250 resumes and just 4 to 6 will be called for an interview.

Ouch.

And, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers 2022 survey, technology competence is one of the top 10 skills employers look for when hiring new college graduates.
