5 Proven Strategies That Can Help You To Land Jobs and Gigs on Linkedin

I've been privileged to train over 10,000 persons on Linkedin and it's benefits, and currently over 400 students have signed up for my mentorship in the past few years.

These strategies I'm about to share are proven ones that will get you results in no time if taken serious

The only thing that will not make you get results after reading this content will be that you ignored and fail to do the needful

The strategies are;

1. Optimise your Linkedln Profile:

A lot of people just create a Linkedln account and fail not to learn how to navigate the platform. Few of the things I teach my students is how to navigate the Linkedin Platform, optimising their Linkedln profile, Becoming visible on LinkedIn and getting massive result using Linkedin

So if you are yet to Optimise your Linkedin Profile, I'll advise you start from there. There's more to creating a LinkedIn Profile, kindly do the needful.

2. Connect with people from your field:

Let's assume you are a digital marketing enthusiast, and you want to learn more or get opportunities in this area. What's expected of you is to connect and network more with people in your field and interact with them in a professional way. Many connections are out there looking for the right person to help or employ to work with their firm, you have to be smart about it.

3. Prepare a good CV to share:

How will you be looking for a job or seeking for big opportunity and you don't have a professional CV or Resume ready?T

Not having a professional CV or Resume shows your level of un-seriousness. People who seek for opportunities gets ready and prepared for it, and one of such ways to prepare is to get yourself a professional CV or Resume.

Most organisations, employers or recruiters will request for these things if they want to help you at all. Don't shoot yourself in the leg by ignoring important information like this.

4. Turn on Linkedin Job Notification :

One of the great benefits of using the Linkedln Platform is that, you get access to lots of job updates related to your field or Industry but you must have turned on notification which will allow Linkedln to send these updates to your mail or you see it on your Linkedln Notifications.

Just go to "Jobs" on your Linkedln page, then turn on notifications, and yes you can add the kind of jobs you want, and even set the location. It's that easy????

5. Build experience and learn via Internships or Volunteering:

Volunteering open doors beyond what you can imagine. So many people are too lazy to volunteer just because they feel it's a free work. Do you know that you can build your experiences or portfolio through volunteering?

For me, I started volunteering since my undergraduate days, no wonder I didn't struggle to get job offers after my youth service.

Volunteering helps in community building, teamwork, build interpersonal skills and lots more, and these are the skills needed for every job application these days.

You can also apply for internship offers, this is paid but not as much as a normal job. Either one you can get doing, please make sure you take it serious as they will pave ways of opportunities for you.

I'll stop here for now
