To Do

Fresh out the oven! Our hot networking tips 🥧

With 1b users, LinkedIn is the world’s most popular networking platform. Some 145m professionals log in from around the world each day to look for work, share their achievements and make meaningful connections.

Since networking can help you advance your career and better your salary prospects, you may want to try out the following when reaching out to people in your industry and beyond:

Make sure your profile is (at least mostly) complete. To improve your chances for making successful connections, you’ll need a professional headshot, a clear headline and a concise, impactful summary. ✍️
Always personalize your connection requests. A quick note to say who you are and why you’re reaching out can go a long way when you’re sending out invitations.
Stay in touch. When your requests are accepted, don’t let the connection wither like a flower. Continue to like and comment on people’s posts, as that will help you join in on conversations and meet more people.
Follow the companies and thought leaders that inspire you. 💡 Connecting with HR officers and managers in companies you’d love to work at is a wise thing to do. So is engaging with like-minded individuals!
Join groups. You’ll be able to exchange and discuss ideas, learn things and strengthen your professional connections.
