Editor's Notes
- #23 Look at who your 1st level connections are connected to, write down a SELECT few who meet your criteria for your next position and then review with your connection as to their fit and worthy to spend some time Exploring millions of jobs and people through search to find what you want can feel like looking for the preverbal needle in the haystack. Linkedin has updated their search algorithm by factoring in current and past roles you held to surface jobs most relevant.
- #28 Adding Slideshow presentations and video to your profile will quickly set you apart from the competition and add a personal and visual element to your profile. People will immediately feel more comfortable with you when they can see your face and hear your voice, even if it’s only a video.
