💡 Career Tip of the week 💡

Engage Actively on LinkedIn
Think of LinkedIn as your professional multiplayer game, connecting, collaborating, and contributing are how you gain XP (experience points) in your career. While simply having a profile is a good start, actively engaging on the platform can turn it into a powerful tool for building relationships, expanding your network, and attracting job opportunities.

Here’s your playbook for maximizing engagement:

Step 1: Post Consistently

Sharing your own content keeps you visible and positions you as a thought leader.

• What to Post:
  • Insights or lessons from your work experience.
  • Relevant industry news or your take on trending topics.
  • Behind-the-scenes looks at your projects or career journey.
• Frequency: Aim for 1–2 posts per week. Quality over quantity is key.

Step 2: Comment Strategically

Engagement isn’t just about broadcasting your ideas; it’s about joining conversations.

• Find Opportunities: Follow leaders in your field, companies you admire, or hashtags related to your industry.
  
  
• What to Say: Add meaningful comments that show your expertise or unique perspective.
  
  • Example: Instead of “Great post!” say, “This is a helpful breakdown of gaming industry trends. I’ve noticed similar shifts in indie game development—especially around accessibility features.”

Step 3: Build Genuine Connections

Think of networking as co-op mode—you grow stronger together.

• Personalized Invites: When sending connection requests, always include a note explaining why you want to connect.
  
  • Example: “Hi [Name], I’m inspired by your work in [specific field or role] and would love to connect and learn from your expertise.”
    
    
• Follow Up: Once connected, engage with their posts or send a thoughtful message to start a conversation.

Step 4: Share and Amplify Others

Boosting others’ content shows you’re collaborative and supportive.

• Share Posts: Add your own commentary when resharing. For example:
  • “This article by [Author] is a great resource for aspiring game developers. I especially loved the section on storytelling mechanics!”
    
    
• Celebrate Success: Congratulate peers on promotions, certifications, or milestones—they’ll remember your encouragement.

Step 5: Join Groups and Participate

LinkedIn Groups are like guilds in a game—they connect you with like-minded individuals.

• What to Look For: Groups related to your industry, interests, or career goals.
  
  
• How to Contribute: Share insights, ask questions, or help others solve challenges.

Pro Tips for Advanced Engagement

• Tag Strategically: When mentioning others in your posts or comments, tag them to spark conversations.
  
  
• Polls and Questions: Use LinkedIn’s tools to create interactive content that encourages engagement from your network.
  
  
• Track Your Impact: Use LinkedIn’s analytics to see which posts resonate most and refine your strategy accordingly.

The last tip for LinkedIn is Engaging actively on the platform.

Think of it like showing up to daily quests, it’s how you stay visible, build connections, and unlock opportunities. 

Take 10 minutes each day to engage with your network, and watch your professional presence grow!
