LinkedIn Live Career Care Package # 66 – LinkedIn “liking” going nowhere? It’s time for a tough love talk on going direct to decision makers

by K B , updated on July 6, 2020

Are you looking for a job using LinkedIn and following the standard advice about how liking, sharing and commenting will put you on the radar of recruiters and employers.

There’s so much of this advice out there.

I used to give this myself – and I still do.

It’s great to network and support each other – and you can definitely follow up that liking love with a connection request.

But here’s the thing – and it’s what most LinkedIn coaches won’t tell you.

It’s super easy to think you’re making progress towards a job, when in reality you can be sucked into time-wasting on the platform.

My pet theory is this is all a bit addictive.

Melanie is a connection and collaboration agent and Founder of Experts on Air.

We’re discussing ways you can really stand out and go direct to decision-makers.

If you master this skill, you can cut down the time you spend on LinkedIn and amp up the efficiency of your job search.

While it’s generous to like people and certainly nice to be popular.

Ultimately, you’re on LinkedIn to find a job, right?
