Episode notes
Add A Direct Email In Your About Section
- Do add a non-LinkedIn contact email to your About section so messages don't get lost in the LinkedIn inbox.
- Kim says recruiters and contacts miss messages in LinkedIn, so include a Gmail or work email for reliable outreach.
Use The Services Section To Signal You're Hireable
- Do enable and use the Services (Opportunities) section if you offer freelance or contract work.
- Kim notes this new section signals to visitors that you are open to business and makes it easier for clients to hire you directly.
Block Calendar Time To Update Your Profile
- Do schedule dedicated time (even 15–30 minutes) to update your LinkedIn quarterly.
- Kim's homework is to block calendar time to implement profile improvements discussed during the audits to get tangible results.
