How to Use LinkedIn When You’re Ready for a Career Pivot


Listen Later

🎙 You’re tuned in to The Education Evolution—and this is Lifelong Learning.
This podcast is for the thinkers, the doers, and everyone who knows the most important lessons aren’t always taught in school.

Are you currently looking for a new job?
Does 2026 feel like the year for a career pivot—but you’re not sure where to start?
Have you ever wished you knew how to use LinkedIn to your actual benefit instead of just scrolling?

In this episode, Lindsay (Ms. Black) walks through how to intentionally use LinkedIn as a tool for growth, visibility, and opportunity—rooted in lived experience, not theory. After spending 11.5 months unemployed, she had to learn how to make the platform work for her, and this conversation breaks down what actually helped.

We talk about optimizing your headline, using the “Open to Work” feature without shame, engaging and posting with purpose, building authentic connections, spotting job opportunities that aren’t always formally posted, and when LinkedIn Premium may be worth the investment.

This episode is for the curious minds, the constantly evolving, and the lifelong learners who are ready to be honest about wanting change—even when the process feels humbling.

If this conversation made you think differently or gave you language for something you’ve been feeling, share it with someone who’s been talking about leaving their job or trying to get unstuck. And if you’re watching on YouTube, drop a comment and let us know which tip resonated most.

Until next time—keep learning, keep evolving, and keep showing up for yourself.
