LinkedIn is an invaluable tool for PhDs seeking careers outside of academia.
Love it or hate it, it’s the platform where industry professionals connect and engage. In my field of SEO, whenever a new search algorithm update occurs, it’s consistently talked about on LinkedIn. If you want to learn more about your industry, follow important thought leaders in your space and engage in the comments.
Leveraging LinkedIn to network has proven effective; my last three roles were secured through relationships I built on the platform.
By actively engaging with others, sharing insights, and reaching out for informational interviews, you can uncover opportunities and gain valuable industry knowledge that can significantly enhance your job search outside of simply submitting applications alone.
