Is your LinkedIn profile good enough to get a job? That depends. Did you only fill out database fields or engage in professional development to learn?

You don’t know what you don’t know. So, how would you know tips, tricks, and strategies to use if you did not attend a workshop, seminar, social audio room, or read numerous articles, watch videos, or a combination of all of the above?

Have you performed a SWOT Analysis?

Are you working on making your personal brand stand out?

Are you building relationships on LinkedIn, and do you have a minimum of 500 connections?

Are you commenting on posts of people that work at your target companies?

Are you publishing content on LinkedIn regularly?

Have you organized yourself and your LinkedIn connections for your job search?

Do you have a “to present” job on LinkedIn?

Have you integrated some other software into your job search and LinkedIn?

Aside from the eight essential questions above, there are close to a couple of hundred questions in the articles above. You have work to do!

You can’t expect to land a job just because you have a LinkedIn profile. Networking is essential to your job search, and preparation is critical. You must be proactive in your search, as nothing happens sitting on the couch.

So, where can you learn about LinkedIn? Join me and others at upcoming workshops, explore other online learning opportunities from this list, or search on Meetup, Eventbrite, Clubhouse, library websites, adult schools, and more.

There are many opportunities available, and you will learn different tips from different presenters. You will have to sort through which ones make sense to your situation, as one size does not fit all.
