4 MISTAKES TO AVOID IF YOU WANT TO WIN AND ATTRACT GLOBAL OPPORTUNITIES USING LINKEDIN AS AN EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONAL

You have probably heard that LinkedIn can win and attract global opportunities for you as an experienced professional, but there are inevitable mistakes you don’t know about yet.

Well, let’s get straight into it.

LinkedIn has significantly evolved amidst other platforms for high-level professionals, owing to its magnificent potential to attract global opportunities if you can maintain a strong brand presence. Building a strong brand presence can position you for these opportunities, but several factors can weaken your efforts.

Below are four mistakes to avoid if you want to opportunities to find you on LinkedIn-

  1. Announcing Your LinkedIn Page on Other Media Apps

Being strategic when building your network via LinkedIn as an experienced professional is key because it can give you access to global opportunities. It is not a platform for building followers and connections to be seen as the user with the most followers; instead, it requires you to target your connections and guard them with jealousy. Accept people whose goal and aim aligns with yours only. Announcing your LinkedIn page on other media platforms impacts your page negatively as it only attracts connections with people from different walks of life whose goals may not align with yours.

  1. Prioritize Quality over Quantity

Whether it concerns the content you share or the connections/followers you have, you should never compromise on choosing quality. Experienced professionals like you, with less than 300 followers, attract global opportunities from multinational organizations with massive benefits. It is never about posting 3 times a day or connecting with 50 connections in 24 hours; what gives you credibility is the quality of what you share and your connections.

  1. Ignoring LinkedIn Profile Optimization

LinkedIn profiles are a digital showcase of who you are, what you do, and the value you offer; hence, you should never neglect them. It is an essential tool to position when aiming to attract global opportunities. Ignoring it can be likened to applying for a job without submitting your resume. What should the recruiters work with?

When you ignore optimizing your LinkedIn profile, you significantly reduce your chances of being seen and noticed by potential clients, collaborators and partners.

  1. Aim To Attract Decision Makers

When positioning on LinkedIn, it is essential to have a target audience. As an experienced professional with at least a decade’s experience, your profile should target attracting decision-makers of your desired organizations because they have more insights into opportunities, and regular interaction with them can position you as a thought leader. They are influential individuals who can bring you a bigger vision.
