For hosts
Tell someone what the job is actually like.
Two hours, live, paired with a second person from your industry. You answer the five questions every session answers, then take questions from the room. No slides.
Two hosts. Never one.
Every session pairs two people from the same industry at different distances from the start. You would be one of them, and we find the other.
15+
years in
Industry Leader
Fifteen years or more. You answer where the career goes, what the work becomes, and what you can only see from where you are now.
2 to 4
years in
Career Insider
Two to four years in and doing well. You answer what the first years are actually like, while you still remember them accurately.
You know the questions in advance.
Every session runs the same shape, so you know exactly what you are agreeing to answer before you say yes.
- 01Welcome: who is in the room, and why ExpertLinc existsBoth hosts introduce themselves, and why they gave up an evening for people they have never met.
- 02Donovan McLeod, Industry ExpertThe five questions every session asks - the money, an ordinary Tuesday, what the interview actually tests, how the ladder works, what they would do differently - answered from twelve years in.
- 03Jessica Jackson, Industry ExpertThe same five questions again, answered from seven years in, so you hear how the answers change at a different stage of the same career.
The last fifteen minutes are questions from the room. Attendees write them when they book, and they are read out without a name attached.
What you get
No fee, no payment. You give an evening to the next generation getting into your industry.
Hosting is volunteering, for both of you, not a paid engagement - there is no fee, no revenue share and nothing to negotiate. In return: an audience that chose to be there because they want to hear from someone actually doing the job, not because a firm sent them, a recording that is yours to keep, and no exclusivity or minimum number of sessions to commit to.
What this is not.
- Not a job ad. You are not there to recruit, and we do not run vacancies.
- Not recruitment for your firm. Attendees are told plainly that a seat is not an introduction or a referral.
- Not advice you are liable for. Sessions are not financial, legal or regulated careers advice, and the terms say so.
- Not speaking for your employer. You speak personally, and every listing states that.
