As a tech exec, I get asked all the time about the right strategy to find a new job.
In the past, physical resumes were mailed when seeking employment, hoping for a response. But in today’s digital era, LinkedIn is a remarkable platform for expanding your professional network. Search for industry peers, invite them to join your network, clearly communicate your job search intentions, and provide a direct link to your updated profile.
Furthermore, you possess the ability to proactively engage with professionals employed at your desired company. Take the initiative to connect with them and politely inquire if they would be willing to provide an endorsement for a specific role.
Anticipate the potential of being overlooked while recognizing that not everyone will respond to your outreach efforts. Nevertheless, persistence remains crucial. One of the advantages of leveraging LinkedIn is the extensive pool of connections at your disposal. As you commence expanding your network, the process of adding new connections becomes increasingly effortless. In forthcoming posts, we will delve into diverse strategies for networking through platforms such as LinkedIn.
