LinkedIn Networking Tips

Connect to or follow people who are your ideal contacts, future employers, recruiters, leaders and their organisations, to stay up to date and show interest.

• Who are the decision-makers that you could follow or connect to?
• Who else works for or with the organisations that are worth engaging with?
• Don’t forget to follow the company page.

Creating, curating and conversing on LinkedIn allows you to reach beyond your 1^stdegree connections. Put 90% of your focus into relationship-building activities, and the other 10% into sharing your own content. Consistency is key.
