On July 30^th, I was interviewed by the charismatic Pete Mockaitis of Awesome at Your Job on “Making LinkedIn Work for You.”

We covered lots of ground, including

1. Two keys to crafting an eye-grabbing LinkedIn profile
2. Who needs a LinkedIn profile and who maybe doesn’t
3. What to do to be both searchable and likable on LinkedIn
4. How to make an impact with your LinkedIn Summary
5. How to grow your LinkedIn network past 500 people quickly and responsibly
6. The case for making recommendations

I won’t spend a lot of time talking about this interview, because you can both listen to it and get a full transcript at this link:

What I will say, because I want you to get all the goodies you can get from this podcast, is that I talk about everything from Big Bird and my Sesame Street failures to the lessons we can learn from bamboo trees. Oh and I talk about blenders. That’s a lot of Bs from Brenda Bernstein! I also threw a little neuroscience in there about how to create an impression before you even meet someone in person.

And there’s more!

I highly recommend listening to or reading this interview, even if you’ve listened to my podcasts before. The tidbits on my favorite things and life lessons are especially charming, if I do say so myself, plus you get to learn about how to make LinkedIn work for you!
