About Us

In this blog I’ll be sharing techniques I have found which I believe will help students to achieve their career goals. Whether that is getting an internship, freelancing, or being able to chat to someone you find interesting. I truly believe that by following this blog you’ll be able to talk to anyone. Whether you want to have a five minute zoom call with Barack Obama, start messaging Carole Baskin –of Tiger King, or get into a call with an expert in your field, then this blog can help you do that.

 

Why listen to me?
Well, through these techniques I have been offered multiple jobs and internships, and, have been able to do a bit of freelancing. These techniques have also resulted in me talking to countless interesting people, including CEO’s, young people who are already at the top of their industry, and, people coming to the end of their career who have countless years of experience. It wasn’t even hard. It just took a few simple steps which took no more than 10 minutes of my time each day.

 

Where did I gain this knowledge? For the most part, I learned most of this through reading blogs and articles, and chatting to individuals who are excellent at networking.

 

For now, I’ll mostly be talking about how you can achieve these goals through LinkedIn. In future blogs I might go into other techniques of how you can achieve your goals. But, in almost every blog, I’ll be talking about what I like to call “The Network Reaction”, the changes that will occur in your life when you start networking.

 

If anyone has any question feel free to drop your LinkedIn in the comments and we can chat there.

How do you contact someone you admire on LinkedIn? Okay, say you’ve been stalking someone's LinkedIn profile and you really love what their doing, or maybe its an industry leader that you’ve heard of, how do you get in touch?   In this blog post I’ll be sharing my technique for getting in touch, and having meaningful conversations with people you admire. For the purpose of this blog, we’ll assume that I want to contact a CEO of a medium sized company, who has a LinkedIn following of 50,000.     Step 1: Engage with their content. There's 2 main ways that I like to engage with people content. #1:  Comment on their posts. If someone posts something insightful then comment your opinion on this. While this example person does have 50,000 LinkedIn followers, only around 100 will comment. Only 10 of that 100 will comment consistently. If you comment on all of their posts, I can almost guarantee that by the time it comes to messaging them, they’ll at least re...

How to optimise your LinkedIn profile.

Optimising your profile on LinkedIn to achieve your goals is extremely important in helping you achieve your goals. In this post I will be giving a few basic tips for optimising your profile. Why do I need a good profile on LinkedIn? A good profile is essential in optimising your LinkedIn. Your profile is the first thing that people see when they go on your LinkedIn, its their first real impression of you. So, what should you do? 1: Have a good profile picture. The most important thing about a profile picture is that your face takes up a large portion of the photo.
