LinkedIn: How to Connect Like a Pro

🎯 My free Job Search Toolkit: https://academy.jeffsu.org/job-search-toolkit?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=015 My Premium Resume Package: https://jeffsu.gumroad.com/l/premium-resume-package In this video, I show you how to use #LinkedIn to connect like a pro! You’ll see sample LinkedIn connection requests that have impressed even me, and you’ll be able to craft your own request message template. 84% of people find jobs using a “weak” relationship, and in the 21st century, LinkedIn is arguably the most powerful platform to effectively connect with these “weak” connections. Through the three tips I mention, you will learn to connect with someone on LinkedIn without knowing the person either for a job, or just to expand your professional network! I’ll teach you how to adhere to LinkedIn connection request etiquette (super important!) and you might even be able to connect on LinkedIn without viewing the profile first! People are often faced with the challenge of connecting with others on LinkedIn without really knowing them beforehand or without a proper introduction; but you will soon see you are able to message someone on LinkedIn who is not a connection (for free) and write custom, thoughtful messages that get an engaged response.
