Jillian Richardson, a 31-year-old Brooklyn-based executive ghostwriter (think LinkedIn’s fairy godmother), is here to teach your corporate overlords how to brag so hard on LinkedIn it hurts your humblebrag-loving eyes. Forget subtlety, Jillian says, 'LinkedIn is a social-bragging Shangri-La' where executives can flaunt impact stats and testimonials like John Hancock at a signing party. She advises ditching those miserable divider bars in headlines—apparently having a LinkedIn profile that looks like a ransom note isn’t ‘customer friendly.’ Her holy trifecta: a punchy headline, an 'About' section filled with cold, hard client-getting data, and a ‘Featured’ section flaunting your Forbes mention—because nothing screams 'trustworthy' like name-dropping a billionaire’s favorite gloss. And don't dare neglect Recommendations; Richardson suggests shamelessly texting former bosses for copy-paste praise, proving that everyone loves unsolicited gifts, especially on LinkedIn.

LinkedIn execs now have permission to behave like their high school debate team but with added desperation and testimonials. Brag hard or be forever invisible in the corporate LinkedIn abyss.
The only thing LinkedIn’s missing is a 'Try-Hard Award' badge for those who post exactly three times about the same thing.
Jillian Richardson basically said, 'Just spam your past bosses for LinkedIn compliments until they relive your glory days or block you.'
