Optimize, connect and build. These are the 3 action points to meet new people, network and get a job at LinkedIn. In this episode of TIPS, Juan Camilo Reyes shares his strategies so we can make use of this platform effectively.
The first step is to optimize your LinkedIn profile. Make sure your page is presented professionally as this is how the professional world will see you. Be respectful when you post and be careful of what you share. You can also create blog posts on important issues of the time to show off your skills and your expertise.
You should also connect with people of the same background. Follow people from the same country and culture, same university and same city as yours. It’s easier to build a network beginning from the people who share important aspects of yourself. Show initiative and invite one of them for a cup of coffee!
Finally, you can build credibility by interacting with future bosses. Follow them, like their posts and leave comments. Be noticeable.
Use LinkedIn as the social channel it is, but always keep things professional. Best of luck!
