You’ve tackled your mindset. You’ve built a standout profile. Now it’s time to put LinkedIn to work.

In this final episode of our three-part series, Michelle Schafer and I dive into the strategies that turn LinkedIn from a static resume into a living, breathing networking tool. 

We talk through what strategic engagement actually looks like, how to approach someone, and how to use the Open to Work feature with confidence and zero apology.

Michelle and I also get into LinkedIn Premium—is it worth it? We break it down so you can decide for yourself.

Key Takeaways

+ Considerations for thoughtful engagement with decision makers and target companies build relationships long before you ever need them

+ Direct messaging works beautifully when you lead with respect, ask permission, and are specific about what you’re looking for

+ An Open to Work post is most powerful when it leads with your value and the specific opportunities you’re seeking

This is the episode that brings everything together. Michelle and I had the best time recording this series, and we genuinely hope it gives you the confidence to show up on LinkedIn in a way that feels good and helps build your professional network.

Check out part one in our LinkedIn series about limiting beliefs keeping you from opportunities. Or part two of the series for tips on how to build a profile that works for you around the clock.
