In a recent LinkedIn post, Alicia Teltz discusses her remarkable career transition over the past year, culminating in a workshop booking at Amazon. Teltz, who left a corporate B2B Tech Sales role, highlights the pivotal role of consistent LinkedIn activity in securing opportunities with major companies like FedEx, Google, Samsung Electronics, and now Amazon.
Teltz emphasizes that the key to these bookings was simply being visible. “BECAUSE THEY KNEW I EXISTED!! It’s as simple as that,” she states, underscoring her belief that consistent online presence is fundamental to career advancement.
“Last February, I started posting on LinkedIn for the first time properly. 3 months later, I gained so much momentum that I decided to end my corporate career and go solo. And JEEEEZ, I never thought that my cringy little LinkedIn posts would completely change my life!”
The post details the personal freedom Teltz has achieved since going independent, working on her own terms. She contrasts this with traditional advice often given, particularly to women, about hard work and staying quiet.
The Power of Visibility and Personal Branding
Alicia Teltz argues that the old adage of working hard and being rewarded is no longer effective. She posits that individuals, especially women, need to actively showcase their achievements and expertise to be recognized.
“How would anyone know about your brilliance if you don’t show it for people to see???” Teltz questions, framing visibility not as bragging, but as a necessary act of self-promotion in today’s professional landscape. This principle will be a core theme in her upcoming workshop at Amazon.
Upcoming Workshop at Amazon
Teltz announced she will be teaching a “Personal Branding and Visibility Lab” at Amazon in London. This session, a collaboration between Trailblazers Uncovered and Women at Amazon, aims to equip attendees with the confidence and strategies to post effectively on LinkedIn and build a personal brand that opens doors to new opportunities, whether clients or career advancements.
“I’m teaching attendees: 💪🏻 To gain confidence and overcome the cringe of posting on LinkedIn. 💪🏻 How to build a *human* personal brand that accelerates their careers and lands them opportunities. Whether that’s more clients or a promotion at their current/future job.”
She provides details for the event, noting that spaces are limited and encouraging interested individuals to register quickly.
Leveraging LinkedIn for Career Opportunities
Beyond the Amazon workshop, Teltz is also launching a five-week LinkedIn cohort. This program is designed to provide a comprehensive guide to building a strong LinkedIn presence, including a 30-day posting challenge and a specific module focused on landing job opportunities.
Drawing on her past experience working at LinkedIn itself, where she assisted recruitment firms in sourcing talent, Teltz plans to share insider knowledge. She intends to cover the backend of LinkedIn Recruiter software, algorithmic workings, and what recruiters actively look for when sourcing candidates.
“When I worked at LinkedIn, my clients were the world’s largest Recruitment firms. My job was to help them source the best talent with LinkedIn’s Recruiter Software. Therefore, (apart from the general advice about visibility on LinkedIn) I’m gonna teach you: 🔥 What the backend of the LinkedIn Recruiter Software looks like 🔥 How the algorithm works (yes, the tool has its own algorithm) 🔥 What recruiters/hiring managers care about when sourcing for talent 🔥 How to get invited for interviews through the back door (avoiding your CV getting lost amongst 100s of applications)”
Teltz offers a significant early-bird discount for those who sign up for her email list to be notified of the cohort’s launch, further emphasizing the value of timely action and visibility.
