She teaches professionals how to become "Job Shoppers," utilizing a proactive strategy that gets them noticed by top employers before the competition even begins. Her methods have secured high-paying roles at Fortune 500 companies and earned her features in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, ABC News, and a LinkedIn Top Voice distinction.

Madeline shares her insider strategies, the power of effective networking, and how you can attract career opportunities—sometimes even while you sleep. Here are a few key points we discussed:
- Aim higher: Applying for lower-level positions or jobs below your skill set can hinder your job search. Companies worry you will be bored and leave prematurely.
- Quality Over Quantity: Candidates should always think about the quality, not quantity, of applications.
- Intentional Career Choices: Your career direction is critical. Madeline outlines a method for making more intentional career decisions.
- Leverage LinkedIn: Ensure your LinkedIn profile communicates your brand effectively so that recruiters can find you.
- Engage on LinkedIn: You don’t have to be an original content creator, but commenting on others’ posts lets you "borrow" their audience and expand your reach.
- Consultative Approach: In interviews, use a consultative approach to gather information about the company, team, and role—not just answer their questions.
- Myth: Job security is a myth. Always network, keep your skills sharp, and be ready for any changes in your work status.
