"Nothing good in life comes easy" so in this video, I'm going to share you How to Job Search on Linkedin...the HARD way!
If you're a job seeker trying to use LinkedIn to find a job, you might think that using the "Apply Now" or Easy Apply feature is your best bet. It's fast and efficient right? The problem with that approach is that since it is so easy, everyone is doing the same thing so it's hard for you to stand out as a job seeker on LinkedIn
Or perhaps you KNOW you need to network on LinkedIn to find a job you want, but you're not sure where to start. The best way to begin is to engage with active LinkedIn users, who usually have a vast network already. You do this by first finding out where the active users are and commenting on their posts. Rinse and repeat for 24 weeks and I promise you will make progress on your job search journey
After you have engaged and hopefully reengaged these active LinkedIn users, you want to follow up and send connection requests that get accepted. I highly recommend Austin Belcak's 3step LinkedIn Connection Request formula since it's so simple and effective
First, lead with positivity, then show them you've done your homework, and finally ask them a genuine question so they feel like you're seeking guidance from them (which you are!)
Good luck and enjoy the journey
