In this episode, I explain why LinkedIn is one of the most powerful tools for networking and job searching, whether you’re a stay-at-home mom or a mid-career professional who hasn’t actively networked in years. If you didn’t start networking years ago, the second-best time to begin is today! I share examples of how LinkedIn helped me find opportunities, research companies, get introductions, and reconnect with old colleagues and references.
Many women from my recent job search challenge felt their networks were small, but I encouraged them and listeners to think bigger by including past colleagues, classmates, family, neighbors, and connections through kids or volunteering.

I also cover LinkedIn basics:
✅ Use a recent profile picture
✅ Add relevant job titles in your headline
✅ Tell your story in the About section
✅ Include volunteer work and career gaps in the Experience section

Once your profile is ready, start connecting—LinkedIn’s suggestions make it easier! If you need more convincing that LinkedIn is worth your time, listen in to hear how my daughter landed a job through LinkedIn just a couple of weeks after creating her profile.
