Leveraging LinkedIn to Massively Expand Your Network

Are you utilizing LinkedIn to your advantage? People think that LinkedIn is just good for a job search. But as one of the fastest-growing platforms for career development and networking, it can offer a lot more than we can imagine. In this episode, Donna Serdula shares practical tips to start your LinkedIn makeover, ways you could build your brand, expand your network, and level up your engagement. Donna pioneered the concept of LinkedIn profile optimization, realizing early on that the LinkedIn profile was so much more than just an online resume. The author of “LinkedIn Profile Optimization for Dummies,” she and her team of over 40 writers have helped thousands of executives, entrepreneurs, sales stars, business leaders, and professionals from around the world create professionally branded LinkedIn profiles.
