CAREER STRATEGIST | ATS & LINKEDIN OPTIMIZATION SPECIALIST
"I'm not a recruiter. I'm a career strategist who got tired of watching qualified people get filtered out by software they didn't even know existed — so I built the system to beat it."
You've sent your CV to more companies than you can count this year.
You stopped counting somewhere around application 150, because counting made it worse.
You check your email first thing in the morning, before you've even sat up properly. Not because you're hopeful. Because you need to know, one way or another, before the day starts.
Most mornings, there's nothing. No rejection. No interview invite. Just silence — which somehow feels worse than a "no," because at least a "no" would mean someone actually read it.
Maybe my CV is the problem. Maybe I'm the problem.
You've had that thought at 2am more times than you'd admit to anyone. Scrolling LinkedIn, watching people who graduated the same year as you post "excited to announce my new role 🎉" while your own profile sits quiet, untouched, unseen.
You've typed things into Google that you'd never say out loud. Why do I never get called for interviews. Is something wrong with my CV. Why can't I get a job even though I'm qualified.
Your parents ask "any progress?" and you've started answering carefully — technically true, vaguely hopeful — because the real answer is too heavy to say out loud again.
Here's what I want you to know before we go any further: this is very rarely about you. It's about four invisible walls most job seekers never even know exist — and once you see them clearly, you can start taking them down, one at a time.
Drop everything you're doing right now, and read every word below. This is going to change how you think about your job search.
Most people applying for jobs today are fighting a battle they don't know exists. Before a recruiter ever opens your CV, a piece of software called an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) has usually already decided whether a human being gets to see it at all.
Nobody explains this in school. Nobody warns you before you start applying. You're taught to write an "objective statement" — not that a robot might reject you before your objective statement is ever read.
Hi, I'm Mide — a career strategist who works with job seekers across Nigeria to fix exactly this problem.
I'm not here to sell you motivation. I've watched too many genuinely capable people — smart, qualified, hardworking people — get filtered out by systems they never knew were working against them. That's not a fair fight, and you can't win it by simply "trying harder" in the same direction that hasn't worked so far.
"I built this for one reason — to give job seekers the same system I use directly with the people I coach, without needing to book a session first."
— Mide Likins, Career Strategist
Over the years, I've sat across from dozens of job seekers who all describe the same thing, almost word for word: hundreds of applications, a handful of replies, and a quiet, creeping belief that something must be wrong with them.
It almost never is. What's actually happening is far more mechanical, and far more fixable, than most people realize:
Their CV never survives the ATS scan. Fancy formatting, tables, missing keywords — the software misreads or downgrades a CV before a recruiter ever sees it, regardless of how qualified the person actually is.
Their LinkedIn profile is technically "complete" but invisible. No keywords in the headline, no proof of real work, low activity — so it simply never surfaces when a recruiter searches.
They have certificates, but no proof. In a market flooded with people holding the same free online certificates, a certificate alone no longer tells a recruiter anything about whether someone can actually do the work.
I've watched people try to solve this the way most of us are taught to — apply to more roles, download a nicer-looking CV template, post more on LinkedIn — and still hit the same wall, because none of those fixes touch the actual mechanics of what's rejecting them.
So I built a system instead of another template. A day-by-day, 30-day plan that fixes the CV so it survives the software, rebuilds the LinkedIn profile so it actually gets found, and — critically — helps the reader build real, verifiable proof of their skill, even if they don't have "formal" experience yet.
That system is what's inside Hireable.
I kept explaining this same system, one conversation at a time, to person after person. So I put everything into one guide — the exact CV template, the ATS checklist, the LinkedIn scripts, the proof-of-skill projects, the outreach scripts, the day-by-day calendar — all of it, in one place.
Introducing...
The 30-Day System Nigerian Job Seekers Are Using to Stop Getting "We Regret to Inform You" and Start Getting "When Can You Resume?"
And the best part? You don't need to hire a CV writer, pay for another course you'll never finish, or keep applying blind and hoping this time is different. It's the same system I use directly with the job seekers I work with — now packaged so you can run it yourself, at your own pace.

Hireable is brand new — which means there's no long list of reviews to show you yet. What you're getting instead is the exact system, at its lowest price, before that changes.

A 10-point checklist of the small, silent mistakes — an unprofessional email address, mismatched CV/LinkedIn details, an outdated line you didn't know to delete — that quietly get good candidates rejected before anyone reads their qualifications. Run through it before every application.
A referral-based approach that lets you skip most of the ATS gate entirely — including the exact script for asking someone inside your target company for a referral, and how to make it an easy "yes" for them.
