If you're on LinkedIn but not part of this, you're missing out on a wealth of opportunities. When transitioning veterans ask me about networking and staying updated in their target industries, I always point them towards relevant LinkedIn groups. Whether your expertise lies in project management, security, HR, operations, cybersecurity, renewable energy, or supply chain, there's a group for you. Joining these groups is not just a choice; it's a strategic move. If you're on LinkedIn but not part of any professional group, you're missing out on a wealth of opportunities to: ·       Expand your network and connect with industry peers. ·       Stay updated on the latest trends and best practices. ·       Show off your expertise and make a memorable impression. So, don't wait any longer. Dive into these groups. Your future self will thank you for it. Can you share, what groups are you member of, it may benefits others. ------------------------------------------------ To explore top-notch Resume, LinkedIn and Interview tips for transitioning military veterans, follow me -https://lnkd.in/d39b7S3C Click on the bell icon 🔔 on top right corner of your profile to get notified of my posts. ------------------------------------------------ #linkedinstrategy #jobsearchstrategies #transitioningmilitary #transitioningveterans #commanderram #mentorship #resumetips

I know I should use it, but not quite sure where to start.. said one of the transitioning veterans, when the topic of ‘Leveraging LinkedIn for Transition Journey’ came up during our discussion. I said, let me simplify the whole thing into just 3 points, the ones that I focused on, when I was in your shoes seven years back. Here they are: 1. 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐞: Just like getting your uniform squared away, your LinkedIn profile should be sharp. Use a professional photo and craft a strong headline that reflects your skills and aspirations. Share a bit about your military experience, focusing on transferable skills like leadership and teamwork. 2. 𝐍𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤, 𝐍𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤, 𝐍𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤: Just as you built camaraderie with your fellow service members, now it's time to connect with professionals in your desired field. Start by connecting with colleagues you've worked with and start expanding your network from there. Don't be shy to send personalized connection requests explaining your background. 3. 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧: LinkedIn isn't just a digital resume; it's a platform for learning and engagement. Follow companies, join groups related to your interests, and engage with posts that resonate with you. Sharing your insights on industry trends can help establish your presence in the corporate world. Remember, it's a journey, and patience is key. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need advice along the way.
