Your Pitch: LinkedIn

During this episode of the Career Ready Podcast, we talk about how to share your elevator pitch on LinkedIn in multiple spots. The conversation covers the LinkedIn headline, about section, and a recorded introduction. The LinkedIn conversation is preceded by a review of the workforce database O*Net and followed by this week’s listener question about what content to share in the body of the cover letter. Topic #1: Michelle reviews the workforce database O*Net. She discusses how to use the platform to research careers and identify industry terms to use in a job search along with how to find careers with a bright outlook. Topic #2: Pierre talks about multiple areas to share your pitch on LinkedIn to best make an impact on those viewing your profile. Areas covered include the headline, about section, and adding a video introduction. Topic #3: Rebecca answers our listener mail question, “What should I say in the body of my cover letter so it doesn’t sound like my resume?” Listeners in the College of DuPage community can visit our website. All other listeners are encouraged to view the resources of their local community college, WIOA training programs, or other local support centers.Send us YOUR Listener Questions at [email protected] Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn @codcareercenter
