If you haven't downloaded my 5-Day

Starting point is 00:01:05 Career Growth Guide yet, make sure that you do it at www.maypin.com and you can find the link in the description below. So make sure that you have gone through the training, have actually gone through the exercises and that will then bring you to this point. And the final part is all about making sure that you can be discovered. Now when we talk about personal branding, I noticed that many people, when they think personal branding, they think social media, they think getting as much attention as possible. They think about the likes, the saves, the shares, everything that is social media related. Now, that is great if you're someone who is running a business, but that is not so great if you're someone in a nine to five jobs who is open to new career opportunities and you want to grow your career and you want to grow your income.

Starting point is 00:01:42 So there's a very, very big difference there. And the exact difference between the people who are able to attract new career opportunities on LinkedIn every single month, myself included, versus the people who have been spending so much time on LinkedIn by actually not getting any results at all, beyond it being just a general social media platform. And this is truly the biggest mistake I see 9 to 5 professionals make on LinkedIn. And I want you to ask yourself, are you making the similar mistakes as well? If you're thinking of LinkedIn as something as a social media platform, then the way that you're approaching LinkedIn is going to be very, very

Starting point is 00:02:12 different. And the other mistake I also see is that people not taking their LinkedIn profile seriously because they don't see their LinkedIn profile equals their professional reputation. They think their profile is just like an Instagram profile in which it is not. So if you're listening to this podcast and you have been going through my 5-Day Career Growth Guide and Career Growth Strategy, then we really want to appreciate LinkedIn as a platform that can bring you new opportunities and not so much the social media stuff that is not really related to your career. So how I think about LinkedIn is this, right? LinkedIn is a way for me to demonstrate my professional value and what I can bring and that's my professional reputation. So the past couple of days, we talked all about packaging

Starting point is 00:02:49 yourself, all about value positioning. So where are we actually going to put all this value positioning and who are we going to showcase it to? LinkedIn is the answer. LinkedIn is where you showcase what you can do. LinkedIn is where you will be found. LinkedIn is where other people can realize and find you. And it is truly the best platform if you're in a 9-5 job because it is the only professional platform in which you can attract opportunities instead of actively seeking for them. I have many clients and this is something that I've personally done for myself in my own career as well and many clients who have successfully done the same that they're actively doing really really well at their job and guess what? They get

Starting point is 00:03:24 messages on LinkedIn inviting them for interviews, inviting them for their dream roles, inviting them to explore new opportunities. And this is something that truly can only happen on LinkedIn and also only made possible if you're utilizing the right LinkedIn mindset, the right LinkedIn strategy, and it all starts from your LinkedIn profile

Starting point is 00:03:40 in which that is the first place that we're going to put in the value positioning, the packaging that we talked about in the past four days that you would have already gone through the 5-Day Career Growth Guide for. So if you want to improve your LinkedIn in just a couple of minutes, then make sure that you download my 5-Day Career Growth Guide at www.maypin.com and the LinkedIn description and go through the exercises that I've prepared for you in that. And this is how you can truly transform your LinkedIn strategy and make sure that it all connects to help you achieve the career goal that you have set up for yourself to enjoy the career success that you want in the corporate world. Till then, all the best and I'll see you soon.
