Here's how you can tap into your professional network to discover new job openings.

I always say reach out to your network when you don’t need anything. Then they’ll be much much more likely to pick up the phone when you do. I have a handful of people where anytime they reach out, I know they must be looking for a job. That’s the only time they ever make contact. And never do they ask, “is there anything I can do for you?”. I also have a handful that are the opposite and I would fight tooth and nail to help them get an opportunity. Bottom line, present yourself as someone other will go out of their way to help. It’s amazing how many doors will open.

Network like you mean it. And do better than just collecting contacts. Reach out to old colleagues. Mentors. That guy you met at the conference who always knows the inside scoop. Share a relevant article. Congratulate them on a win. Shoot them a quick "how's it going?" Make it genuine. Make it count. Because when a job opens up, you want to be the first person they think of. Remember, networking is a two-way street. Add value, and watch those connections grow stronger.

The key here is to do this ahead of time, not when you need it. As the saying goes, the best time to network is a year ago. Make new friends online as you go and comment on their content to be memorable. If and when you need a job, it's easier to tap people for help.

Here's a tip that can always make you remember... GIVE SOMETHING PERSONALIZED - Write an engaging post for them and ask to post (If they wanted)... - Post something and mention their name... - Give something valuable in their DM... - Share something which can be helpful for them... Something which they can use it later or something which they're looking for... Doing this will make you remember forever ??

Be genuine with your network. I've noticed that many big profiles on LinkedIn are very sales orientated. However, I believe that by maintaining a healthy connection with other copywriters, you open your potential to new collaborations.

Your profile is the first impression people have of you... Make it count! This is one of the first lessons I learnt when I started out on LinkedIn

Optimize your profile and keep Sharing valuable content... By this, you will be present on their feeds and also they will take you as an authentic person. You will become a person who is consistent, dedicated and helpful ??

Make sure that your profile is updated to 2024. Profiles that are polished and constantly updated, are the ones that are going to stand out more. So be on the lookout for that!

Tu perfil en redes es tu carta de presentación. Asegúrate de que esté al día con todo lo que sabes hacer y lo que buscas. Usa palabras clave que te hagan fácil de encontrar. Un perfil bien armado no solo se ve profesional, también hace que la gente piense en ti para oportunidades que van con tu perfil.

Actualiza??o do perfil é fundamental para que possamos dar a conhecer as nossas valências aos recrutadores, um perfil atualizado eleva as chances de termos maiores conex?es.

You can directly ask in for the job or ask them if there's any, let you know... It's not a bad thing to do as everyone is looking for a job and if you are asking and telling them you are the best for them, what's bad in that?

It's not about bragging, it's about professionalism. I always recommend others to share their accomplishments with others. You never know who you're inspiring.

No te quedes callado si estás buscando nuevas oportunidades. Dile a tu red qué tipo de trabajos te interesan. Pero hazlo con tacto; más que pedir un trabajo directamente, muestra que estás abierto a consejos y sugerencias. Así pides ayuda sin presionar a nadie.

How to attend domain events effectively? 1. Before event: Check the LinkedIn event’s attendees to find the people you would like to get acquainted with. It would help you set up several side talks and catch ups with interesting guys beforehand. 2. During event: Have fun. It could be a bit less comfortable to go on the event without a company (as your goal, basically, not talk to people you know, but to people you don’t know). So, think of it as a nice opportunity. Don’t ask much from yourself. 4. After event: After ML in PL conference I attended in 2023, I wrote a LinkedIn article to sum up my experience and key outcomes I got, as I had several goals for that event. This is a nice way to wrap up your thoughts and strengthen connections.

I've seen most of the people get connected in live events... Many get jobs from there to... But what you have to do is to attend the events and... Participate in conversation But here's the trick: You have to introduce yourself and tell them..."I am looking for a XYZ job" (In any way you can deliver these word, do it) Engage them in story and ask them for a job...

Los eventos de networking son clave para conocer gente que puede apoyarte en tu búsqueda de trabajo. Ve con la mente abierta y con el objetivo de hacer contactos. Lleva tu discurso de presentación y tarjetas de visita para facilitar las conversaciones de seguimiento. Una buena charla cara a cara puede dejarte una conexión fuerte para el futuro.

Contacto presencial é uma ótima oportunidade para trocarmos impress?es e impactar pessoas com as nossas histórias. é fundamental participar em eventos de networking, pois delas surgem contactos que poder?o agregar-nos muitos valores.

Follow-up is crucial, otherwise people think of them as dead...lol ?? Yep, people will remember you if you become their friend... For this you have to stay with them and be there if they're facing any problem which you can solve

This is how you keep a healthy relationship with your connections. Check up on them, they're probably wondering about you too.

Después de conocer gente nueva o reconectar con viejos conocidos, manda un mensaje personalizado agradeciendo el tiempo que te dedicaron y mostrando tu interés en seguir en contacto. Si alguien te dio un consejo o te sugirió algo, agradécele y manténlo al tanto de tu progreso. Seguir en contacto es clave para mantener tus relaciones fuertes.

Ideally, you want to keep up with people for the long haul as opposed to waiting until you need something and then asking them help. Follow them in groups or simply comment on their content, etc.

People remember for your ?Attitude and Kindness More than ?what you do ?who are you Help people ,and they will remember you In and working network remembrance is a Blessing

In the search bar put “not yet posted” in quotes to do an exact match search, then filter by posts. This will show you hiring managers needing pretty urgent help who are posting job openings in their personal accounts. This will give you an insider edge on a role. Good luck!
