Examples of posts that job seekers can write on LinkedIn

Posting on LinkedIn can be a little intimidating if you're a job seeker.

It's not always easy to put yourself out there, in front of your network, and talk about yourself.

If this is your first time posting, a tip that I like to recommend is writing about the topics you'd typically cover in an interview.

Day 1: Introduce yourself.

- "Hello to my new connections! I'm Gabby, a scientist and project manager. I've been working in the pharmaceutical industry for over 7 years."

- Add a photo or headshot to the post. (Optional step, but highly encouraged!)

Day 2: Talk about your strengths.

- Intermix your strengths with an accomplishment that goes with them.

- "I've worked on award-winning marketing campaigns for the Fortune 500. I was invited to speak at Social Media Marketing World in 2024."

Day 3: Why should companies hire you?

- "As a member of your organization, I can..."

- What problems could you solve for the companies that hire you? What do you bring to the table?

Day 4: Q&A

- Invite your network to interact with you. Let them give you your next set of post topics.

- "Hello, network! I'm creating a mini-Q&A. What questions do you have for me? What can I tell you about myself?"
