Modern Admin Weekly | Issue No.011
Hi — Liz here. 👋🏾
A post on LinkedIn stopped me in my tracks recently.
"The hiring system is broken."
A bold statement. But I don't totally disagree.
There are talented people looking for work and hiring teams struggling to find the right candidates.
A resume is still important—but it's no longer the whole story.
The candidates who stand out often have:
• A strong LinkedIn profile
• Clear examples of their work
• Tangible proof of impact
In other words, they make it easy for others to connect the dots.
It's something I'll keep digging into here in the coming months. But for today, let's get into the roles.
🔎 How We Curate
Every role featured in Modern Admin meets the following criteria:
🧑🏽💻 Flexibility First — remote and hybrid roles that reflect how modern teams operate
💰 Compensation Transparency — if a company knows their budget, so should you
🤝 Culture Check — we look beyond reviews to assess leadership, tone, and reputation
🗂 Role Integrity — titles should match scope (no inflated or misleading roles)
🗓️ Recency — we prioritize fresh opportunities (~2 weeks)

A small thing I’ve been using lately
A few recent favorites from my desk/work bag! (affiliate links):
Mini desk fan — staying cool on camera is wildly underrated
Portable charger — this has saved me more times than I’d like to admit
Sunday Morning by Brooklyn Candle Studio — soft & clean without being overpowering
Until next time, stay modern.
