Job seeking with a purpose

Chapter breakdown

1. Building meaningful connections on LinkedIn.

2. Planning your career move.

Knowing what you want way before you approach the market will be a psychological mindset you want to be in before taking on a task that can have a lot of highs and lows.

When seeking your next career move, limit your interactions with online job portals a few times a week. Manage your levels of emotions; not all companies will respond, and not all applications will be accessible. More importantly, manage instant rejections with powerful daily affirmations and nurture your mind with positive thoughts.

The way to maximize your online platform for endless opportunities is to focus on building relationships instead of following the quick apply mentality.

Stay and maintain the level of engagement on online platforms such as LinkedIn to build professional and meaningful connections.

Tips for building meaningful connections on LinkedIn

1 Connect with recruiters, HR managers & internal recruitment managers within companies.

2 Post valuable content by giving advice that people can use, for example: Did you know? Here are three things you should know when? Add pictures to all your posts as it will get more traction this way.

3 Comment on topics similar to your interests, post on LinkedIn regularly, at least three times a day.

4 Give it a few days before messaging your contact on LinkedIn; this way; they get to spend a few minutes on your profile before deciding to message back.

How to plan your career move

1 Research companies you want to approach and work for, value align them, and choose a minimum of 5.

2 Connect with the HR and recruitment teams on LinkedIn, do not message just yet.

3 Post on LinkedIn shared interests, share value-based knowledge, and view their profiles.

4 Start building a relationship, have something of value to discuss with the HR or recruiter.

5 You are a few weeks into the relationship, now is the time to introduce yourself and why you want to work for their company.

6 Have a resume that speaks volumes; without one, you are not standing out.

7 Make sure your LinkedIn profile stands out.
