Here’s the hack to finding fresher jobs and applying earlier
Hi Emily,
Sure, LinkedIn lets you filter for jobs posted in the last 24 hours. But this is a competitive market, and applying early can help your chances of getting an interview.
Today I'm sharing a sneaky way to find jobs posted in the last one, two, or three hours.
Here’s how:
- Search for your target role in LinkedIn Jobs.
-
Choose Past 24 hours.
-
Find 86400 at the end of the URL. That's how many seconds are in 24 hours.
- Replace "86400" with:
• 3600 for the last hour
• 7200 for the last two hours
• 10800 for the last three hours (or choose any number you want under 86400)
Boom.
Fresher jobs, and a better chance of finding them before the crowd.
BUT being early to the wrong job is still a waste of your time.
That’s why tomorrow's first Summer School class is:
Don’t Waste Time on the Wrong Jobs.
During this class on Tuesday, August 4 at 12:00 pm ET, I’m teaching this hack and four more “Why did nobody ever tell me this?” job-search strategies.
You’ll learn how to:
• Find more of the right jobs, even when companies use different titles for the same work.
• Quickly decide whether a job deserves your time.
• Uncover the employer’s likely pain points.
• Identify the keywords that matter most.
• Understand what they are really hiring someone to fix.
• Connect what they need with what you can prove.
You’ll also get prompts to help you do the research faster without letting AI take over your judgment - or make you sound like everyone else.
This is not your generic “stuff keywords in your resume” advice.
This is the real, practical, good stuff that I teach my clients and you can use immediately.
And Class #1 is only the beginning. We created Summer School - four sessions, every Tuesday in August - to help you get ready for the September Surge, when hiring typically picks up after the summer break.
Summer School walks you through the job search in the order it should actually happen:
1) Choose the right target.
2) Understand what employers need.
3) Market yourself clearly.
4) Reach actual humans.
5) Turn opportunities into offers.
You can buy Class #1 for $47 or get the full four-class Summer School bundle for $177.
Every class includes:
• The live session
• The replay
• A resource packet
• Prompts to help you apply what you learned
Buy the full bundle and you’ll also join Homeroom, my private job-search community where you can access everything in one place, ask questions, and get support from me and Deb between classes.
Can’t attend live?
No problem. You’ll get the replay.

I’m rooting for you,

P.S. Deb and I are going live again this Thursday at noon ET to talk about Too Old, Overqualified, or Just Misunderstood? Because one live event a week was not enough for us. Sign up here, replay available.
P.P.S. Missed last week’s free Summer School Orientation? Watch the replay here to diagnose where your job search may be breaking down.
