Wayne Breitbarth: LinkedIn Trainer, Speaker and Consultant
Key takeaways:
  • Think of LinkedIn as less of a social media platform and more as one of the largest databases of people we have ever seen
  • Take advantage of the fact that you can put so much more into a profile than a resume
  • LinkedIn is your story telling platform
  • Optimizing your profile for key words is critical
  • Be creative and experiment with the different features that LinkedIn allows
  • Write your profile in first person
  • Don't be afraid to connect with people that are in the space you would like to occupy. Send a note with your connection requests and you will be surprised at who will accept
  • A new tool allows you to practice for an interview with the most common questions. You record a video answering the questions and LinkedIn provides you feedback
  • It is more important to have a profile full of key words than it is to continuously post
  • Keep an eye on who views your profile and do not be afraid to reach out to those who do
  • The job market is difficult right now and LinkedIn was made for times like these where it is important to stand out from home
  • Utilize the alumni page to look for new connections and the places you would like to work at
