LinkedIn is no more a job-hunting site, it is a professional networking site, which is helping people around the globe find their dream jobs and clients, through the power of content. LinkedIn has changed and evolved over the years, and here are the 3 things you don't know about it...!
Gone are the days, when people were using Linkedin just like Naukri.com to find jobs. Nowadays not only companies but, ideal job candidates and freelancers are also building their personal brands on Linkedin and getting their dream jobs and clients with the power of content.
We have always underestimated the power of social media. People are earning lacs or Rupees and even $$ because they have a powerful content strategy that is helping them to reach out to the right people and land their dream opportunities.
If I talk specifically about Linkedin. Here’s what has changed over the years.
1. Content Game: Earlier only large companies used to post content on Linkedin and normal people, and employees used to use their Linkedin profiles as their resumes. But now, people have started creating content regarding their niche, just like we do on Instagram and Facebook. They have started utilizing the power of content and instead of just applying to the jobs, they are building connections, connecting, networking with the decision-makers, and landing their dream opportunities. Isn’t it amazing?
2. Look and Feel of Profiles: As I said earlier employees used to use their profiles as their resumes, but now, it is very well curated, esthetically beautiful, and presentable. As their work reflects through their content. They have started writing Linkedin blogs, which show their intellect. They have started utilizing all the features that this website provides. The result, Better jobs, Better connections, and better opportunities in the pipeline.
3. Connecting directly with decision-makers: That’s the best plus point of this professional social networking website. While building your personal brand you don’t need to apply for jobs and go through the tedious process of getting selected amongst of 1000s of people. Instead, you can build your connection with HR executives, Content heads, Editors, and other Decision-Makers. Who can directly visit your profile, watch your work and immediately take decisions about whether you are fit for their organization or not? Of course, this process needs strategy, Communication, and Networking skills. Once you build that, the process will be much easier for you.
Take examples like Shreya Pattar who built her entire personal brand on Linkedin while studying at Trinity University now she has written and sold 7 E-books and helped freelancers and so many clients through her writing skills. Isn’t that great? If you know how to use this platform Sky is the limit for you.
So now you know, that Linkedin is not just a mere social networking website, or job hunt website, It’s a huge opportunity for you. So when are you updating your long-forgotten LinkedIn profile?
