Linkedin

In the spirit of Halloween, it seems fitting to share some of the LinkedIn nightmares I've witnessed over the years. As someone who trains others on LinkedIn best practices and uses LinkedIn myself to build my own network and brand, I’ve seen my fair share of LinkedIn faux pas that can send chills down your spine and, more importantly, undermine your personal branding and business development efforts. Let’s go on an eerie journey together, and I’ll provide some tips on how to avoid these common pitfalls, no matter the season. The Ghost of Bragging Past: We’ve all seen those posts that scream self-praise. You know, the ones that start with “honored and humbled” but somehow manage to come off as anything but humble. It’s a tricky balance to strike, sharing your achievements without appearing boastful. My advice? Focus on how your experiences can help others. Share your journey, the challenges you faced and how you overcame them. It’s about all about showing, not telling. The Phantom Taggers: Then there are the phantom taggers, casting their wide net of mass tags in hopes of garnering more attention. But beware, this tactic can quickly turn from clever to calamitous, as it often

X’s Elon Musk talks about several new X features on leaked call. Photo by Leon Neal/Getty Images At the X all-hands meeting last week (Oct. 26), owner Elon Musk and CEO Linda Yaccarino listed all of the features they plan to offer on X (formerly Twitter) to make it an “everything app,” from banking and hiring services to 4K livestream capabilities. The X executives said they would start to broadcast these internal meetings to the public every quarter via livestream. According to a transcript of the meeting published by The Verge yesterday (Oct. 31), Musk and Yaccarino mentioned YouTube, LinkedIn, and PayPal—which originated from Musk’s fintech startup, X.com in the 1990s—among the competitors they’d like to replace. Outside competing with social networking sites and financial services, Musk also talked about X’s new audio and video call capabilities and encrypted direct messaging, all made to replace FaceTime and Signal.  Here are the top takeaways from the all-hands: Turning X into an online bank comes from Musk’s vision for PayPal more than 20 years ago. Musk said his plans for X.com, the precursor of PayPal, weren’t fulfilled when he sold the company to eBay in 2002. X.com was an online bank cofounded by

Ticker LinkedIn privacy comes under the employment microscope News Published 2 hours agoon November 1, 2023 The implementation of Do-Not-Track (DNT) measures is poised to significantly impact LinkedIn’s privacy landscape. DNT, a browser setting designed to protect users’ online privacy by blocking web tracking activities. LinkedIn, a professional networking platform, relies on user data for various purposes, including targeted advertising and personalised content. With the new DNT policy, the platform faces potential challenges in maintaining its current level of data collection, posing questions about the future of user privacy awareness. This decision comes as part of broader efforts to empower individuals with greater control over their online data and privacy. However, it raises concerns within LinkedIn’s business model, which depends on user data for revenue generation. Industry experts are divided on the implications of this ruling. While some argue that it will enhance user privacy and transparency, others fear it may hinder LinkedIn’s ability to provide tailored services. Users are urged to stay informed about these developments and review their privacy settings accordingly. #featured News Executive orders on AI security Published 1 hour agoon November 1, 2023 President Biden has issued an executive order to advance the realm of artificial

Career Advisor Diana Contreras hosts a LinkedIn workshop at the Career Center on Thursday, Sept. 21, 2023. With over 930 million users across more than 200 countries worldwide, LinkedIn has proven itself to be a professional networking juggernaut since it was first introduced by Reid Hoffman and others in 2003. But even two decades later, engagement from college students is still sparse. According to a recent report published by LinkedIn, only 8% of the platform’s total users were college students or recent alumni. Although LinkedIn is more business than leisure, which would inevitably limit the types of posts and interactions, this number falls on its face compared to other social media platforms. Educational marketing agency Pepperland Marketing stated that 85% of college students are on Instagram. Maxine Torres is a third-year student at Cal State LA who was unfamiliar with LinkedIn and feels that teens should have an understanding of the platform before going to college. She hopes that a degree in psychology will land her a career as a speech pathologist. “In high school, they don’t really teach you those things, how to network and promote yourself,” Torres said. “But opportunities like that are great, because not a lot

Imagine having the power to collect information from lots of different LinkedIn profiles that’s like having a treasure chest of knowledge right at your fingertips.

LinkedIn is a place where grown-ups connect and share their job stuff, like where they work and what they do.

This month, NAB and Good Shepherd Australia New Zealand (Good Shepherd) are celebrating a 20-year partnership supporting close to one million people experiencing vulnerability with safe and affordable access to more than $480 million low and no interest loans (NILs). NILs explained NILs are small loans available to people on lower incomes, who can often find themselves excluded from mainstream credit. They provide people with safe, fair and affordable access to credit for essential goods and services without the stress of high interest loan repayments, charges or late fees. NILs – funded by NAB and accessed through Good Shepherd – can be used to purchase things such as a new fridge or washing machine, paying for school expenses and uniforms or even buying a car to get to work. NAB’s partnership with Good Shepherd Since the partnership began in 2003, NAB and Good Shepherd have delivered more than 370,000 loans to eligible people on lower incomes. NAB provides capital for NILs and is the only major bank to offer a program that allows people on low incomes to access no interest and no fee credit. As living costs continue to rise, along with higher grocery and petrol prices, data from

10/28/2023 1:54 PM / Source: ForbesWomenWorking with hundreds of mid- to high-level professionals each year, most come for help to grow in their careers but are also looking for strategies to make a bigger impact in ways that matter to them. Emerging leaders, for instance, want to shape the direction of their organizations in positive ways. Others want to focus on more purpose-driven work by pivoting or changing their careers entirely. And others still hope to go out on their own and launch their own enterprises.But many people I’ve spoken with doubt they have anything important or useful to say. Hundreds of women I’ve worked with believe deep down, “I can’t be a thought leader—I don’t know enough.” And they’re often afraid people will put them down or ridicule them for becoming more visible on LinkedIn (and in their careers generally). I’ve found this to be a big part of the “imposter syndrome” thatStart to follow experts and leaders from a wide array of fields and industries who are making a positive difference in ways that inspire you.
