In this episode of Swing that Gig, host Martin Lindeskog dives into the intricacies of using LinkedIn to enhance your job search strategy, particularly for freelancers and solopreneurs. Martin explores the effectiveness of the 'Open to Work' hashtag, the role of hashtags across various social platforms, and the challenges faced by those without a traditional employer on LinkedIn. He also touches on the potential for using LinkedIn's features, such as profile translations and professional networks, to maximize reach and engagement for greater career opportunities.
