Get Your Next Job With the Help of LinkedIn
For almost a decade, people have been filling out applications online, and as a result have been hiding behind their screens. This is especially true for Trans & Gender Non-Conforming folks, but not anymore! In the modern age, anyone and everyone can make a good first impression no matter their gender expression.
In the job market, as in dating, the best way to connect with people is through personal relationships, which, in this decade, means social media. No, not Tinder (though good on you for putting yourself out there!). Enter: Your LinkedIn profile!

Here’s A Tip:
Imagine your LinkedIn profile as a book cover for your biography. What profile photo, cover photo, and headline would you have on your “book”?
LinkedIn is where employers and other professionals can see you, how you position yourself as a professional, understand your story, and present your skills and achievements. You will be using LinkedIn to build relationships and connect with your future employers.

Develop Your Personal Brand
Before you can start building your LinkedIn profile, you need to create your personal brand. Having a solid personal brand will not only give you something to refer to when working on any part of your profile, but it will also make your LinkedIn cohesive and much stronger.
Remember:
What makes you “different” is what makes you, YOU. Memorable and super. Don’t be afraid of standing out!
