Leland’s Post

Every day, Christiana posted on LinkedIn. She shared the messy parts of job searching that no one wants to talk about, the rejections, and notes of support for others going through it too. In March 2025, she had been laid off and needed all the help she could get. LinkedIn became her lifeline. One of those posts reached Andrew on the Leland team, who messaged her and offered assistance. His insights and knowledge strengthened her resume in ways that stood out. “Although I received numerous rejections that were hard to hear, posting every day on LinkedIn helped break the stigma and shame and positively impacted others.” She stayed visible, she kept showing up. Then came the shift in her interviews. “There were days when I wanted to apply to anything and everything to feel productive. However, when I stayed focused on what I wanted, it was evident in my interviews — and in the end, it paid off.” That payoff: an offer from JP Morgan 🚀 Christiana’s advice for others is simple and earned: stay rooted in your why. When you lead with authenticity, the right door recognizes you. Congrats Christiana, we're cheering for you! #LelandCommunity
