Are Cover Letters Still Worth It?

It seems that cover letters are increasingly seen as a thing of the past, with many debating their value in the job application process. In this short video, I share my perspective as a former biotech recruiter on whether — and how — to use them effectively, particularly when applying to small and medium-sized organisations.

How Do Recruiters Look for Candidates?

A quick video showing how recruiters use LinkedIn Recruiter — the key tool we rely on to find candidates for specific roles. It’s a behind-the-scenes look that I hope will show just how important it is to keep your profile accurate and up to date. If your profile isn’t clear, complete, or aligned with the language used in the industry, you might not show up in relevant searches — which means missed opportunities. Especially in biotech, roles are often filled by recruiters or hiring managers actively searching LinkedIn — not always by posting jobs on boards. Remember: Visibility is everything — don’t let a weak profile block your next move.

LinkedIn or CV?

In this video, I explain why your LinkedIn profile matters just as much as your CV (or even more!) when applying for biotech roles. Many hiring managers and recruiters check LinkedIn before they even open your CV — especially in niche sectors like biotech. I walk through how recruitment really works in this sector and why you should focus on optimising your profile to really stand out.
