On this episode, we have Oscar Oganiza, Andrea Faith Alimorong, Charles Mejica Madronero, and John Alex Robles joining us to discuss "LinkedIn is not Lame" and How to make your online presence work for you.

LinkedIn used to feel like just another resume site—but today, it’s a powerful platform for building a career in tech. In this episode, we explore how students and professionals can use LinkedIn to showcase projects, grow their network, and even land jobs. Whether you're new to the space or trying to stand out, our guests share how to make your profile more than just a digital formality.

What’s one change you made on LinkedIn that had a big impact? (Generalization)

One significant change I made was consistently sharing insights and articles related to my field, which really boosted my visibility and engagement.

How can students or fresh grads make their profiles stand out with limited experience? (Generalization)

Focus on highlighting projects, volunteer work, academic achievements, and skills gained from courses or personal learning. Even without extensive work experience, these elements can demonstrate initiative and capability.

What kinds of posts or content actually build engagement and credibility? (Generalization)

Thought leadership pieces, industry analyses, personal success stories (with lessons learned), and asking engaging questions that spark discussion are all highly effective for building credibility and engagement.

Have you ever been approached for a job or opportunity because of your LinkedIn? (Generalization)

Yes, several times! Recruiters often reach out after viewing my profile and content, particularly for roles that align with the expertise I showcase on my feed.

What's a common misconception about LinkedIn that you'd like to clarify? (Generalization)

Many people think LinkedIn is just for job hunting, but it's equally powerful for networking, learning, and establishing yourself as an expert in your field, even when you're not actively looking for a new role.
