How to Land An Awesome Job Using LinkedIn
Heather begins our discussion by explaining what LinkedIn is, and why it is unique among social media sites. She notes that when she started coaching, LinkedIn was not an essential tool for physicians seeking a new career.
The biggest mistake physicians make is not getting “in the parade” and having fun. – Dr. Heather Fork
Today, she says that 100% of her clients use LinkedIn as an integral part of their career search strategy. That’s why she found it so important to help her clients and other physicians by creating a LinkedIn course for them.
Summary
Dr. Heather Fork explains why LinkedIn is important, and how to land a nonclinical job by using it in new ways. She also explained its most critical functions and points out little-known tips, including her “Alumni Hack.”
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Heather has created her own “how-to” course called LinkedIn for Physicians that anybody can purchase if they need help setting up their profile properly. This is, by far, the best resource for quickly learning how to set up your LinkedIn page and use it to network, attract recruiters, and find a nontraditional job.
