Why should I be active on LinkedIn and what does “active” even mean? 

Active means engaging and multi-faceted engaging is the goal. You can be commenting on posts. Following up in a DM if you were really moved or impacted by someone’s post/comment. Connecting with people from posts or in your feed who you feel can add value to the direction you are headed.

Proactively connecting with people in the position you want or people who would be hiring for that role. Engaging via DMs with your current network. Social Saturdays and LinkedIn Groups to name a few.

If you are an entry level team member thinking you have nothing to add to "the feed" you are absolutely wrong.

Nichole shares personal stories of what her experience has been like since she started showing up more on LinkedIn and engaging on the platform. Blown away by the messages that show up in her inbox with opportunities.
