Episode notes
LinkedIn Like Spousal Communication
- LinkedIn networking is like spousal communication; if you ghost your connections for a year, they won't react well to a sudden reappearance.
- Maintaining LinkedIn relationships consistently builds trust and makes networking requests less awkward.
Smart Connection Requests
- Only connect with people on LinkedIn where you see a genuine advantage or relationship possibility.
- Always send a personalized message showing specific interest or common ground to increase connection acceptance.
Avoid Front Door Job Applications
- Avoid applying to jobs solely through online portals with many applicants; it's like a lottery.
- Use networking and direct contacts to bypass crowded front doors and improve your chances.
