?? 5. I updated my LinkedIn profile.

One of the best ways to promote yourself is by interacting with like-minded people on social media, especially if they can guide you.

I follow, Like, and comment on my mentor's posts on Linkedin. It helps me bring more attention from recruiters, other companies, and new people.

Staying active and sharing your progress on LinkedIn is the best way to promote yourself.

So, let's be friends on LinkedIn.
