Career Corner: Ask a Recruiter
I’ve been hearing from a lot of clients who are trying to increase their engagement on LinkedIn. Outside of updating your profile, here are some strategies:
- Grow your connections!
- Send messages to connections to catch up or introduce yourself. I personally love hearing from old colleagues!
- Share content: job openings on your team, share articles and relevant questions to inspire discussion, re-share the posts of others in your network, crowd-source for expertise in a particular area or offer your own.
- Comment on other people’s content. This is an excellent way to grow your connections and demonstrate thought leadership in a particular area.
Social Media isn’t for everyone, but if you’re looking to connect with more professionals, engage in conversation related to your professional area, and/or lean into public thought leadership, LinkedIn can be a great place for you to start!
