You can use LinkedIn to get whatever you want – funding, customers, career growth, learning (and you don’t even need to post!)
The days of using LinkedIn as a CV are gone. With thoughtful use of your profile and connection requests, you can connect with scientists, demonstrate your expertise, and build trust.
Join us as we discuss how to use LinkedIn to connect with scientists through;
- Connection requests: how to use them, and how to get accepted (and how to max out your connection requests in 20 minutes a week)
- Posts: using no posts, science posts, and personal posts strategies
- Comments: add real value to conversations, and build relationships.
