📬 𝗨𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗻𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀: 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗺? Ever wondered why saving your InMails is a strategic move? 🤔 Let's break it down! InMails are like golden tickets, and here's why: 1️⃣ 𝗟𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘆: In the LinkedIn world, InMails are a precious resource. Free accounts get just one, while premium career subscription accounts snag up to 5 per month. Each one counts, so use them wisely. 2️⃣ 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗜𝘁 𝗼𝗿 𝗟𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗜𝘁: When you shoot an InMail, and your recipient responds, it's like a magic pass—it doesn't count against your total. But if there's no reply, it has an expiry date. Once that clock ticks down, it's marked as used, even if it feels like it vanished into the LinkedIn abyss. 3️⃣ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲: Reality check—people are busy, and not everyone lives on LinkedIn. Reaching out might get you the cold shoulder. You're not connected yet, and your InMail likely revolves around job opportunities or referrals. The risk of it going unused is real. So, here's the game plan: 𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗜𝗻𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿. Keep them in your back pocket for those conversations with recruiters and hiring managers who could be your next career catalyst. Strategic, efficient, and maximizing your LinkedIn potential! 💼✨ #LinkedInTips #CareerStrategy #InMailWisdom #NetworkingSuccess

Want to nail your job search on LinkedIn? Here's the common mistake you need to avoid. I've seen LinkedIn become a game-changer for many job seekers. Their secret? Two simple steps, but in a specific order: 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭. 𝐑𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝. LinkedIn isn't just a transactional platform. It’s a community. It’s about building genuine connections.

Become The CEO of Your Career | Recruiting Insider | Teaching How To Get Hired Fast | 300k Career Advice YouTuber | Resume, LinkedIn & Interview Courses
Most people are missing the point with their LinkedIn profiles. Consider it your personal career landing page. It should tell us: - What you do - How you do it - Why you do it And if I can't tell within the first 5 seconds, an employer won't either. Blank slates get ignored, just like boring websites. So ensure your profile clearly shows what problem you best solve. And if you don't know what that is, start there. (Bonus points if you can inject a little personality into it!)
