Hey šŸ‘‹ guys before you dive right into this weekā€™s Personal development story, we have some good news. But before that thank you for your support, Our newsletter added 150+ new subscribers from last weekā€™s letter. But that is not even close to the surprise that Iā€™m going to reveal to you right now. ā€œ DRUMROLLSā€šŸ„šŸ„. We are welcoming volunteers to join our team !!!!!!!

The community at the JOB funnel will be liberating and nothing less than life-changing you will get be part of a driven society. We will help you get the right help and professional connections that even you wouldnā€™t have envisaged. Letā€™s jump into todayā€™s personal development story

So, let me give you all a task. So if you were to prepare cake what would you rather do?

a) Buy a cookbook and follow the recipes

b) Watch a YouTube video.

Yes I heard you guys you might be calling me dumb to be even considering the cookbook that is sooooo 2000

On the same lines, it would be so dumb or it would be lame if you think Linkedin is a JOB PORTAL.

HERE ARE THE TOP 5 REASONS YOU SHOULD USE ā€œLINKEDINā€.

1) To build our own professional network: This might be so obvious reason and you might hear of the same a thousand times. But ask yourself this, other than your friends in college are you connecting with others on LinkedIn?? No, obviously then how are you all leveraging this life-changing application.

You get to meet wonderful people posting their achievements, work in different fields, and who feels appropriate to you follow them and ask them for suggestions or letā€™s say you want to bag a huge off-campus placement, then you cannot rely on the 100 and connections that you have made because they might be looking for the same as you are. Now tell me your use with the connection you have on LinkedIn.

2) Know your competition: many donā€™t tell you this but the fact is that just like you many are hustling doing varied things to get to their dream places, surf what they are doing differently.

I know it might sound ridiculous and it sounds like stalking but no it is just KNOWING YOUR COMPETITION.

3) Land internships or jobs while in school: So we know this application also gives the added feature of highlighting and notifying who are hiring and providing internships and if you are desperate to have real-world experience us the same as much as you could.

(Btw, weā€™ll add verified Internships & Full opportunities in Job board of every newsletter we ship to our readers. You can subscribe below)

4) Share your updates with the entire world: Now this is something that can have a substantial positive impact on your career. The country is burgeoning in commerce and startups and how cool it would be to get an offer from any one of them unasked so enhance the quality of your post and drop relevant ones. Take a look at LinkedIn active users stats in the below image

PLEASE DONā€™T SHARE MEMES AND INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES FROM AN INSTAGRAM INFLUENCER.

5) Find something more interesting and learn about it: Now this is an added perk and this happens on every other social media nowadays. At one point I was thoroughly interested in finance even though I was pursuing a degree in electrical engineering. But I found out very recently how electronics comes in handy in finance as well. So look for new things and also be open to learning. You can also get to know what is the trend in the market for your particular sector if you have eye for detail.

ā€œScience is fun. Science is curiosity. We all have natural curiosity. Science is a process of investigating. Itā€™s posing questions and coming up with a method. Itā€™s delving in.ā€ ā€” Sally Ride (American Astronaut)
