Your LinkedIn profile is like your resume. Use it efficiently to meet potential clients and get jobs, not to date or make enemies.

Dear Sam: I am a recently retired design engineer. I created an LLC to do freelance design engineering in retirement. In this era of COVID-19, I feel that it’s not practical or safe to get out there and make contacts face-to-face. So, I thought that a better idea would be to gain exposure using digital social media, but I’m not sure the best way to go about it.

Deciding how to promote your engineering venture would undoubtedly be dizzying if trying to engage across each of those social media platforms. Not only would you need to build your profile on each of those platforms, but…
