hey guys ECR G here back with another episode and the topic of today's episode
is get more jobs via LinkedIn using this tip this is a tip that not a lot of
people use because I think a lot of people are afraid of being criticized
being critiqued by a community the same reason why not a lot of people why not a
lot of people go out there and try to become influencers you know post a bunch
of pictures on Instagram why a lot of people don't go and start YouTube
channels for those same type of reason or go and
start a podcast even though all these things are free to use and you know
someone could start doing it literally today you could decide to do it and come
with your own content everything is all accessible most things most of those
things that you need are actually free you can get started but the reason why
that actually holds a lot of people from actually getting started is because they
are afraid to be critiqued they don't want to put themselves out there and
then people talk bad about them or whatever the reason is but that's that's
one of the main reasons why but this tip actually could help you get a job much
faster in clinical research especially because of the way the LinkedIn
algorithm works now before we go ahead and get into that I just want to let you
guys know I do have a resume review program going on right now so if you are
interested in having your resume reviewed or you're interested in doing
any kind of type of interview prep maybe you have an interview for a clinical
research position coming up and you want to make sure that you are the most
prepared out of any of the other candidates well you can email me elite
clinical group at gmail.com and do it now because my schedule is filling up as
we speak and of course I'm on the road I am a full time CRA also so the earlier
you let me know the faster I can turn around for you and get you scheduled so
just want to let you guys know about that but back to why you guys are
listening to this in the first place so the actual tip is linked in commenting
now why is this a great tip for a number of reasons one the way that algorithm
works on LinkedIn is that discussion if you comment on a post that discussion
stays around for days and people comment people like and it gets a lot of reach
so if you write a pretty intelligent comment under a LinkedIn post hundreds
of thousands not thousands of people might read that comment and they might
look out for you they might want to request to be your friend on LinkedIn or
etc it shows that you are trying to engage in a nice discussion and it shows
that you are at least somewhat knowledgeable about the discussion at
hand and are interested in adding to that discussion so one of the main
reasons why you should do this is because of LinkedIn algorithm it is very
ROI positive but the second thing the reason why you should do this on
LinkedIn is you never know who might be watching you you never know what kind of
recruiter could be watching and is looking for candidates just like you so
you want to make sure that your LinkedIn profile is definitely up to par and once
again we can help with that at ally clinical group at gmail.com if you want
to improve your LinkedIn profile we do have some tips and can discuss with you
some SEO tactics and how you can come up in the searches for you know recruiters
looking for candidates for clinical research and LinkedIn is a great
platform for this it's one of my favorite platforms actually because
everyone has a LinkedIn in fact if you don't have a LinkedIn you're doing
yourself a great disservice and you know that's one of the things that commenting
does it allows people to realize that you are out there hey I'm out here I'm
looking for so-and-so job I am out here you know trying to get into clinical
research come look at my credentials now you when you're commenting on LinkedIn
you do not want to make comments like hey look at me or like hey I'm in need
of a job please give me one you don't want to make comments like that I'm sure
you've seen these from some of your friends you want to make thoughtful
comments that add to the discussion you don't you don't want to you know even
just saying comments I'm sure you see here if you're watching on YouTube like
good post or a great job you know you make those comments to your
friends or something but if there's like a common there's an article about
something in clinical research that you want to add to make a good thoughtful
comment and over time more and more people will listen to that will respond
to that will will comment underneath that like it dislike it whatever but
what you'll realize over time is that as you start building a somewhat of a
network of people that consistently comment on these posts and consistently
engage in the discussion and guess what those people could definitely help you
land jobs in clinical research they could let you know about opportunities
in clinical research whether you're trying to level up or break into the
clinical research field it's there so I think this is one of the great
underrated ways to kind of kind of give yourself a better chance of getting a
job on LinkedIn not to mention you'll be getting more
friend requests from people increasing your your ability to be seen by the
LinkedIn community and that's really what it's all about
recruiters have their way of searching for candidates that they want and then
they'd use what's called LinkedIn in mail which is they go right into your
email box and they do this so in hundreds if not thousands of people at a
time and they say hey if you're interested in this job you know submit
your resume or apply here or something along those lines so I mean I think
LinkedIn commenting is one of the best ways and the best thing about it is it's
free there's not what those platforms we have we have to pay to make a comment or
you know you're you're doing something crazy to just to make a comment it's
free and the way the algorithm works is it definitely benefits you you
definitely get a big ROI from every comment that you post and it stays
around a long time those comments stay around in the the LinkedIn community a
long time you know I've seen how many times have you seen posts that are 19
days old 30 days old and you know because people are still commenting on
it and still acting with the content it just it just
goes to show that that's something you should definitely do now the other
social networks like Facebook Instagram you know you're hard-pressed to find
stuff on there from two days ago from three days ago I mean it's already left
the it's already you know in the past so to say but not on LinkedIn you see stuff
19 20 30 days out and it's crazy so that's that's one of the things about
this platform that is great for commenting also if you're into making
content or you know posting a video something about the video resume is
getting more popular now LinkedIn LinkedIn platform is really really great
for this but one of the most underutilized tips is commenting on
LinkedIn post that's what I've got for you guys today

interested in resume interview program LinkedIn or anything like that take care
