CC052 5 reasons for ambitious women to use LinkedIn even if you're not jobhunting

Confident Conversations

Very often the women that I talk to about their career strategy, they hadn't even thought about using LinkedIn until they started jobhunting. But actually there are SO many reasons to get active on LinkedIn even if you're not jobhunting because it's such a powerful networking platform. And the best time to start networking is BEFORE you need to network.

In this episode I share 5 powerful reasons why ambitious women need to use LinkedIn even when you are not jobhunting:

1. Demonstrate your experience to lateral hires
2. Set yourself up as an expert authority
3. Get speaking opportunities
4. Attract new clients
5. Long-term career planning
