The # 1 mistake you’re making on LinkedIn

The # 1 mistake you’re making on LinkedIn…

Not using it enough.

On an almost daily basis people say to me “I have a LinkedIn but I haven’t looked at in months”

☀️Job searching?
You should be using LinkedIn

☀️Currently working towards a degree?
You should be using LinkedIn

☀️Thinking about maybe job searching?
You should be using LinkedIn

☀️Happy at your current job?
Great! You should be using LinkedIn!

Not using LinkedIn enough, or not using it at all is the # 1 mistake I see all time.

Here are 5 ways you can use LinkedIn in 5 min or less regardless of where you’re at in your career:

💙Stay up to date with your favorite brands, competitors, dream companies, etc.

Following the companies that you’re interested will fill your feed with information about those companies and organizations - this is a great way to learn about new projects, job openings and provides an opportunity to interact with the companies content!

💙Interact with your connection’s content.

Like, comment, share the content that others are putting out there. Congratulating someone on a new position or “liking” a project that they posted about is a great way to maintain your connections

💙 Share a win or update.

You don’t have to write a novel to post on LinkedIn. Share an update on a project, share a photo of an event or give a shoutout to a coworker or mentor.

💙 Expand your network

Who have you been working with in the last year that you aren’t connected with on LinkedIn? Send those connection requests and don’t forget to add a note!

💙Give your profile a quick look

You don’t have to give your profile a complete overhaul, look for any information that is out of date or consider making small updates to your headline and summary!
