Top Tips on How to Get Your Profile Noticed on LinkedIn Are you thinking about changing jobs or careers, or getting back into the workforce after an absence? If so, you probably have a LinkedIn account. It’s no secret that this social media platform is one of the most popular platforms for connecting with other professionals and finding new job opportunities in your industry. The platform has more than 740 million users, with almost half of them residing in the United States. More important than the sheer number of users, though, are the types of people that LinkedIn attracts.

  What Is the Great Resignation, AKA the Big Quit? No one could have possibly predicted the calamity the COVID19 epidemic has had on our daily lives – including the way we now approach our work. In 2019, the vast majority of corporate professionals made a daily commute into an office. At that time, fewer than 6% of Americans worked from home as their primary work location, and roughly 75% had never spent a single day working from their home ‘office.’ By May 2020, nearly 33% of America's workforce would be spending ALL of their working hours from home.

Plus, we are now: Saving time and gas money from the lack of a daily commute. Investing more time in physical fitness or personal hobbies. Working parents have been able to reduce daycare costs. And we are spending significantly more time with ou...
