Unlock LinkedIn Episode 4 notes +
Episode 4 is in the books, I am grateful for the notes and questions. BTW - Over 2,000 of you requested access to my Student and Recent Grads Group on LinkedIn, thank you its a great community and I am moderating as fast as I can so there is no random content in the group. People hate that shit. Right?
I was so stoked to have Lars Schmidt on Unlock Linkedin! See, Lars is a legend in the world of recruiting and highly respected. He founded Amplify and is Fast Company contributor, exploring how to build better businesses through modern people practices and approaches. Anyway the highlights were simple. He has a great podcast where he talks with HR and recruiting pioneers at major companies, especially in tech.
- Video interviews - rock them and be smart about audio and lighting.
- Say goodbye to career fairs and use that time to develop new skills fast - most of this you can do for FREE
- Network like a boss and stop the templated outreach. Convert conversations to be clear. Dont ask "Can I pick your brain" please, no!
- Linear careers, They never existed. They never will.
Did you know that Cinco de Mayo is also the day LinkedIn launched in 2003? Next week on Unlock LinkedIn will be celebrating LinkedIn's Birthday and bringing back Perla Luna and Lionel Rodriguez - I met them both two years ago, right before they graduated college! It is a #GetHired reunion show and I can't wait! RSVP here, and make sure to follow my profile! Here are the episodes! See y'all next week, if you are 21 and drink bring your tequila!
