You spend 20 minutes uploading your resume, then re-typing everything in.

Many employers only spend a few seconds reading it.

You spend 50+ minutes answering the employer's questions in an interview.

They give you 5 minutes at the very end to ask yours.

You’re asked to share your specific salary expectations. 

But many employers say “that’s confidential” when you ask for their budget. 

You spend weeks going on 4-6 interviews so the company can decide if you're a fit.

Then they give you 24-48 hours to accept their offer.

This isn't a "hiring process."

It's a power trip.

A month into 2026, our team has spoken to hundreds of job seekers.

One common theme?

*Finally* landing interviews, only to get rejected without the offer.

Here are 7 psychology principles we teach them that help turn 5x more interviews into offers:

1. Serial Position Effect

What It Is: People tend to remember the first and last items in a series best.

How To Leverage It: The start of your interview (small talk, intros) and the end (Q&A, closing comments) are your most memorable moments.

Prepare intentional openers and closers that communicate warmth, confidence, and alignment with the role.

2. Confirmation Bias

What It Is: Once someone forms an impression, they look for evidence to support it and tend to ignore conflicting information.

How To Leverage It: Lead with your best story, strength, or trait as early as possible.

If your interviewer thinks “This person is sharp and proactive,” they’ll interpret the rest of the interview through that lens.

3. Reciprocity

What It Is: People are wired to return favors or kind gestures, big and small.

How To Leverage It: Share a helpful insight about the company, compliment about the interview process, or the interviewer’s background / experience.

It creates goodwill and builds rapport that you can build on throughout the interview.

4. Self-Disclosure Effect

What It Is: People tend to like and trust others who share a bit of personal (but appropriate) information.

How To Leverage It: Share a short, personal detail during the interview.

For example, a story about why you care about this field or what inspired your career shift.

It humanizes you and builds connection.

5. Mirroring

What It Is: We subconsciously mirror the body language and tone of those we like, and feel closer to those who mirror us.

How To Leverage It: Subtly match your interviewer’s tone, pace, and energy.

This fosters connection and makes you feel like “one of us” to the interviewer, a key part of being seen as a cultural fit.

6. Liking Principle

What It Is: We’re more likely to say yes to people we like. And we tend to like people who are similar to us, genuine, and warm.

How To Leverage It: Don’t just aim to impress with your experience and background. Aim to connect with your interviewer.

Smile. Show curiosity. Find common ground.

People hire people they like and want to work with.

7. Cognitive Fluency

What It Is: People prefer things that are easy to understand and remember. When something feels fluent, it feels more true and trustworthy.

How To Leverage It: Use simple language and avoid jargon.

Structure your answers using simple frameworks like STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result).

7 Psychology Principles To 5x Your Interview-To-Offer Rate

10 Hard Career Truths I Wish I Knew At 18:

1. You’re Responsible For The Skills You Need

If the subjects you cover in your job / in school aren't exciting to you, find ways to get involved in things that are.

Take courses, read books on topics you love, find online communities, etc.

Don’t be limited by a curriculum.

Go explore — that’s how you figure out what you want to do!

2. Get In The Habit Of Having A Side Project

Take something that genuinely interests you and find ways to apply it to the real world.

Start an Instagram page for your photography.

Create jewelry and sell it on Etsy.

These look AMAZING on resumes and can generate income!

3. Reach Out To Everyone And Aim Big

CEOs, entrepreneurs, alumni, etc.

Who inspires you?

Make a list and email one person on it every single day.

If they don't reply or say "no?" You're in the same place you are right now.

If they do? The sky is the limit.

4. Know That Failure Is A Part Of The Process

Social media glorifies highlights.

But no successful person nailed it on the first try.

They all failed many, many times before.

The earlier you start testing, failing, & learning?

The faster you’ll accelerate your career.

5. Only Take Advice From People Who Have Already Done It

Parents, friends, and teachers have your best interests at heart.

But they typically won't understand your goals.

If you want to win?

Find people who have already achieved the specific goals you have for yourself.

I hate the question “where do you want to be in 5 years?”

I don’t have a 5 year plan.

Or a 10 year vision.

Instead, I have a clear idea of exactly where I want to be and what I accomplish for the next 12 months.

A One Year Plan.

Why?

10 years ago I was a biology major with plans to be a doctor.

7 years ago I was working a job in healthcare that I absolutely hated.

5 years ago, I was stuck in startup life in a job that didn’t pay me what I was worth.

Then I landed my job at Microsoft (with a $70k raise to boot!).

6 months later, I started a website teaching people to accelerate their careers.

5 years later a pandemic upended the world and completely changed the way we live and work.

We are living, breathing, evolving individuals.

Our personalities change, our goals change, and our world changes.

It’s impossible to predict what’s 3, 5, and 10 years down the road.

Instead, focus on what’s in front of you.

Where do you want to be in 12 months?

Aim big.

Then come up with a highly actionable plan to get there.

Don’t focus on goals, focus on systems.

Drill down to the daily actions, because what you do every day is the single biggest indicator of your ability to make your vision of success a reality.

How do you plan for the future?

5 Year Plan? Nah, Do This Instead:

Turning overwhelmed, underpaid coaches and online service providers into fully booked entrepreneurs who serve 💵 The 6-Figure Club starts January 2024

I see you.

On your phone in bed responding to “one more message”.

Hiring VAs trying to offload but realising it’s actually more work training them than it was doing everything yourself.

Taking on yet another one-to-one client because you still haven’t had the time to scale your other offers.

Wondering when you’re going to feel that freedom the other entrepreneurs promised you.

Those other entrepreneurs?

They have trained teams.
Not VAs.
Specialists.

People who know how to grow an audience, build trust, and bring in leads,

(without being micromanaged by you).

That’s the difference.

The other entrepreneurs stopped doing everything themselves.

Now their content actually gets seen.

Their pipeline stays full.

Their calendar books itself.

But… can you keep a secret?

They aren’t the ones doing it.

We are.

We handle the engagement.

The growth.

The leads.

You stay the expert.

We run the engine.

You go live that freedom life.

Spend the money.

We’ve got your LinkedIn growth and client flow covered.

I help coaches, consultants, and service providers monetise their LinkedIn.

By working 1-1 with me online entrepreneurs: 

➡️ Optimise their LinkedIn profile (gone are the days of third-person bios)

➡️ Devise a personalised content strategy, situating them as a leader within their field 

➡️ Create a LinkedIn Lead Gen System focused on permission-based marketing (no spammy Inmails)

➡️ Build a network of supportive, engaged professionals

➡️ Develop a clear social-selling strategy

And SO much more. 

Sounds too good to be true, I know. So, here are some of the average results from my clients:

📈 3X organic leads in 90 days 

📈 1000% more profile views in the first 2 weeks

📈 4x calls booked per week 

If you're an online entrepreneur who struggles to find a lead gen strategy that works. Send me a message.

Even when I was broke I still surrounded myself with millionaires.

They studied at Oxford.

Had been on Sharktank.

Ran unicorn startups.

I was a copywriter living in a campervan. 

I spent the majority of my 20s being the least impressive person in the room.

My ego took a bit of a beating.

But it was great for my sense of belonging and drive. 

I watched these friends pitch themselves, get rejected, then pitch again the very next day.

I saw them work until the early hours of the morning for a job that drained them.

But instead of complaining, they had solutions.

The entrepreneur always had another funder up her sleeve. 

The guy who was up all night had a get out plan. 

He was retiring by age 30 (he actually ended up doing this btw).

Not once did I see them feel sorry for themselves or play the victim.

Each of them had a deep sense of belief in their own capability to succeed, some way, somehow. 

They were going to be a success AND they were going to live an extraordinary life. 

I wanted that too. 

It took me a few years, but eventually, I went and got it.

You know the saying “show me your friends and I’ll show you your future”.

Well… 

Next week I’m moving to live in the same place as this same group of friends.

Only this time, I’m not in a van parked on their drive.

I’m in the villa next door.

No alternative text description for this image

I spent years building a ‘dream career’ that barely covered my rent.

And $60k on a degree just to qualify for it.

But walking away from the safety net was still the hardest decision I’ve ever made.

Not because I didn’t know what I wanted.

But because I’d been taught that the safest thing I could do was stay.

1. Get the degree

2. Work for exposure

3. Get the job

4. Hustle to prove myself

5. Retire at 60 and then 'relax'

I bought it.

All of it.

Until the return on investment was anxiety, burnout and another Sunday ruined by the dread of Monday. 

I’ve watched so many women go through the same thing.

Six-figure careers, 
more accomplishments that you can count, 
and lives that look great on paper but feel quietly suffocating.

If you are like me. 

You won’t leave corporate because you’re flaky.

You’ll leave because the cost of staying is too high.

You’ll realise that it was never about safety. 

But about power.

And whether you’re willing to take it back.

Getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to me.

In 2020 I got fired from a copywriting job for a project management company.

I was dyslexic and had to Google what project management was before the interview.

So the outcome didn’t surprise me.

But I’d taken the job because it was remote and the salary gave me butterflies.

Before you think it, 

this isn’t another story of getting fired then rising from the ashes and immediately being a massive success.

It took me a whole year and taking on yet another marketing job to muster the courage to say goodbye to:

→ my £50k salary
→ holiday pay
→ and the ‘stability’ a full time position offered

On the day I got fired my ego was hurt

(and I felt like a total idiot for taking the job in the first place).

But I was also massively relieved because I knew there was more meant for me.

In January 2022 I finally started to uncover what ‘more’ meant and committed to doing whatever it took to get it.

In two weeks I had 3 consulting clients. 

2 from referral and one cold lead who’d found me through my content, all on LinkedIn.

Since then I’ve been consistently fully-booked for one-to-one and have a waiting list of women from countries around the world.

Switzerland, UK, Australia, Costa Rica, Canada, US, Spain.

Literally everywhere.

How do so many people hear about me?

Because of what my team and I do behind the scenes.

Our inbound marketing strategy has not only helped me get to $100k months. 

It is also the secret behind your fav influencer, Top Voice & no.1 industry ranked LinkedIn Personal Brand.

If you want us to run your LinkedIn for you too:

Apply via DM.

molly stovold CEO of sitting pretty inbound marketing agency that grows LinkedIn personal brands on a boat

I still remember the first time I made $100k in a single month.

I was in Bali with a 6 month old baby.

I had spent the previous few months trying to scale to TikTok and had gone about it the entirely wrong way.

I made a poor hire which meant that even though I was doing everything I was told would convert.

And going against everything I knew about marketing and storytelling.

Nothing was working.

Eventually, I realised it wasn’t worth it.

I was better off just focusing fully on LinkedIn.

I let go of the employee and put all of my attention back to doing the one and only thing I knew I could do well …

Write posts for LinkedIn.

I stopped stressing to take advantage of every waking moment of my day to record TikToks.

Instead, I did nap time with my baby.

When she slept, I wrote my LinkedIn posts.

The very first month back to my LinkedIn-only strategy I got a million impressions that month.

I also made $100k.

If this isn’t motivation to stay in your lane, I don’t know what is.

CEO @ Sitting Pretty ~ The inbound marketing agency behind your fav influencer, Top Voice & no.1 industry ranked LinkedIn Personal Brand

Dear CEOs, how are you stopping your team using AI for literally every organic thought they used to have?

My biggest struggle with AI is not the AI itself.

It’s that it seems to have replaced the humans I hired.

How can I communicate that fixing the “time saved” by bad AI use takes longer than doing the task properly in the first place?

If nobody is seeing your posts, this is how you actually get engagement, visibility, and clients.

No matter what LinkedIn is doing.

There’s a myth that posting more = more reach.

That’s never been how LinkedIn works.

You could post every day and still stay invisible.

Because the algorithm was never built to reward volume, unlike other platforms like IG.

It was built to reward credibility, authority and trust.

And in 2026, that’s become even more true with the new algorithm.

LinkedIn was never measuring who posts the most or who is the most active. 

They still aren't.

Instead, it's measuring who’s trusted the most.

LinkedIn studies:

→ How long people stay on your post

→ Who engages (and whether they are credible in your space)

→ How much genuine conversation your content sparks

→ How many saves & sends your posts get 

→ Actions after they find you, do they go to your profile, follow you, binge your content, etc. 

That’s why a single post that builds authority can outperform ten average ones.

It's also why you’ve probably noticed old posts coming back to life weeks later, that’s LinkedIn saying, “people still care about this.”

If your content isn’t doing well go back to being as 'you' as possible. 

Write everything yourself and tell the stories you tell around a dinner table with friends. 

Be the human that connects with people irl.

Show up as the you that makes people laughs, has clear values, talks with passion about what is important to you and what you are good at. 

The person that is already known, liked, and trusted in the real world. 

Only this time... do it on the internet.

The one language everyone speaks in business is money. 

This is how to make more of it today using LinkedIn. 

Even if you don’t have 60k followers and go viral every other day.

1. Semantic content stacking

↱ Train the algorithm to recognise you as the go-to in your niche by using language in your posts that your ideal clients actually use.

2. Behavioural scoring

↱ Track who is interacting with your content and profile, then use that to build a relationship with them.

3. Acting on that behaviour 

↱ Go to your connections and message every single person who is an ICP but you haven’t started a conversations with yet.

(make sure all messages are 25% different from one another so you don’t get in trouble with the LinkedIn g*ds)

Everyone’s obsessed with playing the algorithm.

But it’s what you do behind the scenes that actually makes sales.

If your strategy ends in the DMs, it was never a strategy.

I can’t accept the majority of connection requests on LinkedIn.

If you’ve got a highly active account neither should you (right now).

Opening the profiles of connection requests triggers the new LinkedIn restriction automation.

It’s watching how many profiles you are opening.

So, if like me, you used to spend a little time each day going through your connections, opening profiles, getting to know people and accepting those requests.

Those exact actions can now get you accidentally restricted.

Instead, you have to be ruthless.

These are the requests I accepted today (and why):

1. An inbound lead applying to work with me, she made sure to say that in her connection note 

2. A personal brand whose headline shows that they are an authority in the space I’m tapping into

3. A guy whose outreach message actually spoke to a problem I have and am actively seeking a solution for (scaling to YouTube)

4. Another inbound lead

5. Podcast host clearly stated in his headline, and I love being on podcasts 

Messaging and positioning is how you build a Linkedin personal brand that gets people to say yes.

To show that you’re an authority and/or solve your ICP’s problem.

Do this:

1. Go to your phone and check how much of the headline you can see from the people who have sent you a connection request.

2. Now go edit your headline, show that you are worth saying yes to

I have spent many hours working re-working headlines with clients because they are so important.

⬇️ Drop yours below and I’ll give feedback on the first 10 for free.

LinkedIn confirmed they're going after automated & AI … everything.

Third-party tools, browser extensions, AI images, all of it is being shutdown.

This is a huge problem for even the humans scaling their LinkedIn accounts.

Because the way that LinkedIn flag the automated behavior is the same as the behavior of you-the-human scaling your personal brand.

If you did your homework and know that it’s important to engage strategically.
aka have a list of people that include your leads, existing clients, some influencers etc.

And off you go every day to engage on this list.

You are in trouble.

Why?

Because of how the new LLM model on LinkedIn monitors you.

If you are:

→ Opening a tonne of tabs of all the LinkedIn profiles you engage with 

→ Never updating your list because you don’t know where to find new people 

→ Going down the same list one by one and not mixing it up

You will be performing in the exact same way an automation tool does engagement.

Sure, your comments will be better. More human.

Thing is, there is not some nice lady monitoring your comments, reading them and thinking “What a lovely, authentic comment” and knowing you are the real-life-human you claim to be.

Instead, it is a robot that flags the automated-looking behavior.

So before you’re comment is even read…

Your account is penalized.

Good news is, I have found a way to still do strategic engagement in a way that LinkedIn has given the green light.

Using the Engagement feature in magicpost.in

It is one of the very few tools that LinkedIn actually allows (you can check this by going to your permitted services in your Data privacy settings).

Plus you can find new creators to update your list in too:

1. Go to Discover and look for the posts that have great analytics

2. Note down the Creator

3. Check out the rest of their content

4. Add them to your list

I partnered with Magicpost.in because they are the only tool I have found that is actually allowed and is the best at what they do.

This one tool has made running my inbound marketing agency so much easier.
Hope it helps you too.

Being “ready” is a myth.

You start.

You suck.

You figure it out.

You get better.

Every success started as an idea followed by consistent, imperfect action.

Keep going.

♡

I grew up being taught that money was there to be spent.

I never learnt how to save, invest, or be strategic.

I was told to live in the moment.

If YOLO was a lifestyle, my parents lived it.

As I started to earn more this became a problem. 

I got stressed out because I knew I should be doing something with the money I was making.

I just had no idea what.

I’ve spent the last few years trying to figure out what. 

Now at age 32 I have multiple sources of income, I invest and I save. 

This has been my journey so far:

1. Working on the mindset and my core beliefs around money (read all of Jen Sincero’s and Morgan Housel’s books) 

2. Saved an emergency fund

3. Started investing a tiny bit every month into low-cost index funds 

4. Bought a villa, rent it for short-term rentals 

5. Actually live in a rental house that costs substantially less than I make from the villa

6. Have an experiment allowance every quarter which I invest in something that begins with a C-and-ends-in-an-O 👀

I’m sure this may look very beginner to some.

For me, these small changes have made the biggest positive impact on my wellbeing.

Understanding what to do with my money, even at the beginner level, really did set me free.

I’ll drop the books below and would love it if you drop your recommendations too.

My whole life was meant to change tomorrow. 

My plane was scheduled to go from Bali to Lisbon.

Then the world collapsed. 

Or, so I thought. 

Until I opened LinkedIn and it appears as though it’s business as usual. 

Any other Monday. 

But it’s not. 

Not because my flight got cancelled, but because of what current events means for humanity. 

It felt wrong to put out a business post today. 

So this is all I’ve got. 

Sending love.

If you aren’t getting leads

I bet you are:

either trying to sell to everyone.

Or you’ve picked a micro-niche you’ve never actually worked in.

We have all seen it:

→ The newbie mindset coach suddenly claiming to “help CEOs regulate their nervous system.” 

→ A designer teaching brand strategy before landing a single client themselves.

People can tell.

The energy is off so buyers don’t trust you. 

You can’t fake expertise.

But you can build it in public.

Instead of forcing authority or “faking it till you make it” 

Show your process.

Share what you’re learning, testing, or improving.

Let people see the progression.

Turn the journey into content.

That’s how you connect with your audience before you actually are the expert. 

And that connection is what builds trust. 

Trust is what converts.

I wish the 2023 me knew that burning her career to the ground 

Saying no to the promotion

And going all in on her silly little LinkedIn business

Would lead to building a life, family and home in Bali.

Scaling that LinkedIn business to $100k months.

And realising the risky decision was never leaving corporate. It was staying.

If LinkedIn is eating your time

try this:

1. Get clear on why you are posting in the first place 

Are you trying to grow fast and be an influencer? 

Or are you trying to sign clients?

Those are two different strategies. 

One is volume and visibility. 

The other is authority and conversion.

2. Decide if brand partnerships are part of the plan

If yes, you need consistent reach and a strong niche.

Your content should signal you know what your audience wants.

3. Choose whether you want to be a thought leader 

Do you want to be invited on podcasts, land speaking gigs, etc.?

Then you need opinion content, proof, and a point of view people remember you for

(aka no vanilla content).

4. Get realistic

Look at the people doing all of that at the same time.

The people going viral, being influential, but also making hella money on LinkedIn.

Learn what they are actually doing.

Because they are not spending four hours a day inside LinkedIn.

They treat LinkedIn like the business asset it is built to be, not a social media platform they resent.

→ They have an inbound system.

→ They have expert support, (probably mine https://lnkd.in/guKUpve7)

→ They have processes for posting, engaging, and nurturing leads.

It may look effortless.

But I promise you, it’s not.

Nobody wants to admit they are working with me.

Thats the problem with running a ghost service business …

that people like to keep us a secret.

2 of the number one industry leaders on LinkedIn are accounts that we run.

One of them even overtook me… 

I lost my number one spot to an account we manage.

Great for business (not so amazing for my ego).

Referrals are rare.

Testimonials even rarer.

And our best work often can’t be publicly claimed.

That’s the trade-off of done-for-you services.

You build empires, go viral, sell out launches, outperform all the competitors.

But you do it in secret.

And the only people who need to know… know.

I’m not Lara Acosta

I don’t have 300k followers

But posting on LinkedIn did change my life.

I moved to Bali 4 years ago with a corporate marketing job that was burning me out, 

working nights to please a boss who had zero boundaries and longing for a better life. 

I was exhausted, stressed out, and probably not very nice to be around.

Yet, despite it all, my partner decided he still wanted to marry me.

His proposal was the push I needed to do my first post on LinkedIn.

Not as an employee.

As a personal brand.

I started charging £100 for freelance Marketing consultations.

I taught people how to use LinkedIn to get clients. 

It worked.

My offers snowballed.

I launched group courses (all on LinkedIn), they sold out every time.

I made enough money to build a 4 bedroom villa walking distance from the beach… in cash.

I married the man, we now run a LinkedIn done-for-you agency together.

We have a baby who we actually get to see grow up. 

We surf whenever it’s good.

We have a life beyond our wildest dreams.

All of this is thanks to that first LinkedIn post.

If you need some motivation today, let this be it.

You are literally the only one who is bored.

Not your audience.

Not your clients.

Not the strangers bingeing your content.

Just you.

You’re the one second-guessing whether you should post about that same offer again.

The one wondering if your brand colours are still “you”

The one debating if maybe it’s time to switch things up…

I get it.

Because I’ve been doing it too.

Last week I tested a post format that works really well for other people.

MEGA flop for me.

And no, it’s not because I’m bad at it.

Or that the strategy doesn’t work.

It’s because I’ve built a brand.

One that people recognise.

One that makes people stop scrolling.

One that feels familiar.

So when I mess with my content style you think “this doesn’t feel like my Molly”

That’s the power of branding.

It’s not just what you sell.

It’s how you sell.

How you speak.

What you repeat.

What you never touch.

And when you veer too far from it even with good intentions … you dilute it.

The goal isn’t to reinvent yourself every quarter.

It’s to become known for something.

Trusted for something.

Booked out because of something.

Your audience isn’t craving new.

They’re craving consistent.
