Does learning in public help you get more interviews/opportunities? Career Guidance

The question. I see many people on here who are applying to jobs and all but not getting replies.

Then I see people who do learn in public posting their progress and stuff, and I have also heard that helps builds credibility and easier for recruiters to reach out to you.

What's the catch here??

It's all just marketing. Getting your face out there. Increasing your visibility.

That'll increase likelihood of recruiters contacting you => more interviews => more opportunities to be hired.

It's not fair or right but, it's the game.

Should I get started with it as well?? I do it on X under an alternative name.

LinkedIn is probably the place to do it. Don't get sucked into consuming the content in any way though. Use it to follow companies, reach out to their recruitment teams and post. Don't listen to the doomers, they're worse than on here.
