Hi Jeff, I always love your videos! Thank you for creating great content! Good recommendations here to use LinkedIn even when I'm not actively looking to switch careers. Thanks!
@@heatherrmarie23 Thanks Heather! I wish I had known to keep my LinkedIn profile updated regularly even *after* landing a job much sooner. Oh well, never too late to know!
Jeff, you're truly awesome in every aspect of your online presence! As a Y11 student just throwing together the best possible CV, your tips and videos are extremely helpful, plus the way you interact with your followers is genuinely inspiring!
Your videos are invaluable, Jeff. Thanks for sharing them. You have helped me organize and optimize my mind and methods of accomplishing my tasks since I began watching your videos. A million thanks.
Jeff, once again - thanks for your work. I enjoy looking forward to your newest videos. Who would have ever thought a channel directed at knowledge workers would feel so targeted and effective. Keep pressing forward!!
Great video another key one is your title on your introduction section. Make it SEO Optimization so when people search say Fractional CFO. Your profile pops up in the search. Also, turn on creator mode to really level up your content creation. Great insights!
@@JeffSu Yup, I wish I knew about those LinkedIn SEO earlier too (but still not very active on it lol). The best thing I learned this week so far is: call your mom to express how much you miss her, Jason Chen's long-lost twin brother shared that in his career learning video! 😃
Hello Jeff: Very useful tips. Quick question - I often find that I've plenty of things to say/share on certain topics but the overwhelming "noise" on the platform puts me off. I end up doubting whether my content is *that* helpful or unique? How did you tackle it when you first started? PS: This is the first time I decided to comment on a video in over 10 years and I hope this speaks volume about the quality of your content! Awesome work!
Good question my friend! (1) I unfollowed everyone I didn't want to see posts from (i.e posts I personally didn't find valuable or practical) and (2) I started by sharing my own experience with a key takeaway that might be applicable for those people who were just like me 1-2 years ago! Thanks for the comment!!
Just getting into LinkedIn recently, your channel is absolutely useful, from now on I'll start making some comments on any post I find relevant. Thanks, mate!
I've noticed this, honestly when I saw how short the video was I thought it will be a waste of time. Half way through the video I subscribed. He's efficiency is seriously admirable 👍👍
Great video and timing, I think we are approaching a time of economic recession for many countries in the globe, these tips are essential to "open doors" for future job opportunities in more stable companies.
Hey Jeff, thanks for the tips and I really enjoy your Contagious enthusiasm. I learned a lot from you and I'm definitely gonna try your tricks on your LinkedIn post. Have a great one won😉
HEY Lisa!!!! Wow I can't believe you came across this video, I hope you don't mind I used your Linktree as an example! To come off as (hopefully) less creepy, a connection of mine liked one of your posts and so I came across your profile and thought it would be a great example 😁
@@JeffSu I can't believe it either. A friend of mine watches your videos religiously and he told me about it. Of course I don't mind at all. I'm honored to have my 2 seconds of fame 🤣
Ah, if only I didn't have to scuttle my whole LinkedIn account as a bargain for not getting terminated. I'll see if I can run something on my own without work history, but great recommendations as well. I also take to heart that every Friday afternoon, I try to update my work document. Anything I have from my to-do lists go into a Google Doc sheet (now Notion) so I can have it handy. This is also good to do weekly since you never know what might happen. Instead of panicking because you can't remember what you did, you can reduce the stress by having everything already written down. You just need to "add water" and add some description to the write up.
Wait so why did you have to delete your LinkedIn account 😂 re:update work documents - that's such a good habit to have...I tell myself I should do it but I find myself forgetting....
@@JeffSu as far as the account goes, newly merged companies don't tend to like employees who go on their own. It is my fault for not being politically savvy enough. I usually find that at least having my to-do lists in me is good enough to jog the memory. Sometimes I'll go for a late coffee and that will give me a chance to figure out what I need to record in like a 5 minute span
Hi Jeff, You are Amazing. I really appreciate Your work. Thank You. I have seen Your Videos, I really like them. This is really helpful for people like me. (Freelancers/VirtualAssistants)
I think the most annoying thing about LinkedIn are the annoying content creators. All I ever see are polls, people saying "I pray you get your dream job", people talking about tech layoffs as if that's not a normal thing in tech, and the ones who humble brag about their accomplishments.
Yes, invaluable info! No surprise, coming from your channel. I hadn’t touched my LinkedIn since I started my role and I’d been wondering if it was OK to use peer review feedback on LinkedIn. If this was medium I’d give this so many claps.
Great video. Just wanted clarification, which app do you use to write the external blog post that you mentioned and how would you share those on LinkedIn?
Hey Jeff! I love your videos. They are really helpful. Can you kindly make a video about your career path or how you came to the position you're in right now? I'm interested to know your career path :D
Hi Jeff, this is the 3rd video that I am watching of your LinkedIn list and all I have to say is... amazing content and thank you (and you are really funny, man!) I am a spanish freelance web designer/developer and I want to reach english and spanish speaking clients. Should I create my profile in english? There is any option to do it in both languages? Thanks a lot (liked and subscribed right now :)
Thanks so much for the kind comment Alberto! Yes you can add multiple languages to your profile: Click the Me icon at top of your LinkedIn homepage. Click View profile. Click Add profile in another language on the right rail. Choose a language from the dropdown list and update your first name and last name if they're different in the new profile's language.
I am always never confident to put my role since what the definition of my role in my organization is different than what general definition means (ex: business analyst, product manager). How do you overcome this? Would you prefer writing based on what public recognizes or writing my literal role defined by my organization?
I've been in the same situation before... do not get attached to the title you are given at your company. Your profile is meant to serve your branding and your role should reflect what you do in a way that is also recognized by others in the field. In other words, never lie or stretch it too much but if it's a fair/similar role/title, go with the one that suits your brand and career goals the best. You can be in a situation where the company uses customized titles that are only recognized inside the company or working on tasks that belong to a different role but your title is never changed.
+1 to what Joe said! And I don't think there's a "conflict" with having 2 titles. Just use the internal one within your company (i.e. within an internal directory or introducing yourself to colleagues) and keep the more "popular" phrasing for external use. For example, internally I introduce myself as "AppDev Marketing Lead" (which means nothing to you), but externally what I do falls under "Product Marketing Manager" Does that make sense?
Hey Jeff Su, do you know how I could get a recommendation for a volunteer position? (The Drop Down Menu of Position at the Time: only allows Work Experience and University)
Hey Jeff, great video as always and I'll be implementing them asap! Just wanted to clarify, my website and hyperlink doesn't show on my about page. It's only visible under "Contact Info". Do I need to turn on creator mode to make that visible on my profile? I checked all settings and nothing seems to work.
Hi Sayee - That's a good question. I should have checked since I always had Creator Mode turned on, sorry about that! LinkedIn help site said you don't need to have creator mode turned on (www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/a548010/add-a-website-to-your-profile?lang=en) but maybe try turning it on? Let me know what you find!
@@JeffSu in the public profile settings, where we can toggle on/off the sections, it's just not there. I even though the LinkedIn's system is inconsistent in different regions, but I can see profiles from the same country/city with Featured visible and they are not my connections. Weird.
@@JeffSu You did mention that it adds credibility to you/ your profile if you have external published pieces in blogs... but I'm not sure i understand how one needs to go about that ... Also I've seen LinkedTree used on Instagram as a Linkinbio kind of way 🤔
Everything sounds awesome, however?......what about's with employment recruitment applications sites of big companies (ERA's) where, theres no way to upload your impressive formats?
Jeff you are awesome but don't ever show this video to Indian managers. If I ask any of them to copy paste my review on LinkedIn...I will be in the HR cabin next day, under the suspicion of switching job.😂😂😂
Tons of useful information, with great energy, sexy smile and cutest boy around what could you ask for more? The tip of repurposing performance reviews is awesome. Just watch it!
What do you think, is it possible to write a cover letter on Linkedin in a vacancy, where is easy apply? That is, they only ask for a resume to be sent. I glue a cover letter and a resume and send it as a resume. Is it worth doing or not?
I have enabled the #opentowork feature on my profile. Now,I also want to generate a post in my Feed related to open to work with the automated image. But,when I save my open to work information, The #opentowork post window does not prompt automatically. I want that post to appear automatically with the image showing job preferences. When I create the seperate post for #opentowork, the automtic image shown below the post does not come.Kindly guide me how to get the #opentowork image showing job preferences below the new post.
@@JeffSu It's not personal, hate the game not the players but having thousands of these copycats posts without substance is going to hurt LinkedIn in the long-term
😉Recommendation template from video: [Descriptive Phrase] is the what comes to mind when I think about [Name]. I've had the pleasure of knowing [Name] for [Length of Time], during which [Description of Working Relationship]. Above all, I was impressed with [Name]'s ability to [Something]. And, of course, his [Personality Trait]. [Name] would be a true asset for any requiring [Skills] and comes with my heartfelt recommendation.
It's definitely a personal decision and I think there's a balance. I use each platform for different messaging and I think it's important to discern how they can positively tie in with your professional life. My RUclips videos are on snorkeling and eventually scuba and I think that's appropriate, but my Instagram is more personal and I would not link it.
@@jamesmoore4023 so if people make good use of social media platforms for business/mktg, surely they can add to linkedin But what I'm doubtful about is personal account of social media platforms
I love how there's so much engagement from Hazel's first comment! First off, +1 agree with you Hazel, I actually do NOT like seeing personal posts on LinkedIn I should have clarified in the video: if you're driving traffic because you're generating valuable content (e.g. some Instagram or Twitter accounts are about personal finance or investing tips), I would encourage that person to link their accounts 😁
I have shout-outs from emails and "15fives" (online weekly performance management tool) that I have accumulated over the past two years from my job. Would it be too cheesy to place them in a collage-like file and have that in my featured section? I've asked a few people from my work for LinkedIn recommendations but haven't had anyone follow through and complete it, and I don't want to nag at this point. Thoughts?
Both those ideas sound great Ari! I think recommendations would be more meaningful and if you're having trouble getting people to follow through, you can pick 3 close colleagues and send gentle reminders and even offer to write them recommendations as well. Oh and Happy New Year! 😁
@@JeffSu, It's not that some parts were confusing, It's the fact that it was as dense as a black hole, however, it's easily digestible. Impressive how you compacted so much in so little time. Anyway another 12 minutes to go 👍, thank you for uploading so much of your knowledge for free, it has and will help people!
Hi Jeff, what would you suggest for someone who is looking for work in community services/health, but also has a blog about digital marketing/content creation on the side? How would you optimise your profile page? I am currently not making enough on the blog to quit a full-time job. I am currently seeking new employment as well because I want to leave my current workplace. 🤔
Jeff Su - Just found your site and really enjoyed the first video. I'm working on transitioning my LinkedIn Profile for more exposure and your tips will certainly help. Thank you!
Hi Jeff, Thanks for the awesome tips and great content. After watching this I feel empowered to improve my profile and engage more on the platform. Comment Friday now has a permanent spot on my calendar.

Love your videos. As a recruiter, this is stuff I tell job seekers all the time. Love how quickly you share some very useful tips!
Super happy to receive a vote of confidence from a recruiter! Thank you Kristine 😁
I don't know why but I don't get to put the website handle in my 'edit intro' it's only visible into edit contact info😭
You have to turn on Creator mode 😁
@@JeffSu yes, I see 😅
I have to laught: performance review!!! Are you still in the XX century or what? That is old history!
We have bi-annual performance reviews haha
How and what on earth are we suppose to add details in our job titles in LinkedIn? It can't obviously be what's on our resume. So how's it done?
Great tips mate!
Thank you 😁
Thanks Jeff!
You're very welcome 😁
Mindblowingly helpful, never thought of performance review can be reutilized this way(time to go back to my disk drive to pull my reviews out)
Yea I wish I started this habit sooner to be honest!!! How many years of reviews do you have 😂
@@JeffSu 7 years in, but I think I will only be able to retrieve the last two years' which is already a blessing, thank you Jeff 🙏
@@biaowang2651 you’re very welcome!!
I have shout-outs from emails and "15fives" (online weekly performance management tool) that I have accumulated over the past two years from my job. Would it be too cheesy to place them in a collage-like file and have that in my featured section? I've asked a few people from my work for LinkedIn recommendations but haven't had anyone follow through and complete it, and I don't want to nag at this point. Thoughts?
Both those ideas sound great Ari! I think recommendations would be more meaningful and if you're having trouble getting people to follow through, you can pick 3 close colleagues and send gentle reminders and even offer to write them recommendations as well. Oh and Happy New Year! 😁
Great videos! Can you slow down a little bit in the next videos? It would be very helpful. Thanks so much!
Hi Jensen! A few viewers before said I was going too slow 😂. So I guess you could perhaps try using the slow down feature that comes with RUclips?
My skills section was just umm skills for too long
Wish I had seen this earlier, mine is looking sad now haha
Finally taking the time to optimize, wish me luck guys
Best of luck!
I immediately made edits to my profile! Thank you for sharing.
Glad to hear it Marco! 😁
Another Great One, ... I really like the repurposing and the tips of how to ask for linked in reference.
Glad to hear it Jim! I'm always looking for ways to kill 2 birds with 1 stone!
Watched it 2 times understood 1/2 😆
😂 so 2 more times to understand everything?
Jokes aside which parts were confusing? I'll try to improve next time
@@JeffSu, It's not that some parts were confusing, It's the fact that it was as dense as a black hole, however, it's easily digestible. Impressive how you compacted so much in so little time. Anyway another 12 minutes to go 👍, thank you for uploading so much of your knowledge for free, it has and will help people!
@@ChrisK-ef8np ahhhhh got it. Thank YOU for being a viewer my friend!
Love the review sharing, thank you
No problem Jonathan, glad you liked that tip! 😁
These tips are gold, thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Wbu the AFK people?
These tips still apply 😁
Hi Jeff, what would you suggest for someone who is looking for work in community services/health, but also has a blog about digital marketing/content creation on the side? How would you optimise your profile page?
I am currently not making enough on the blog to quit a full-time job. I am currently seeking new employment as well because I want to leave my current workplace. 🤔
You can add your blog gig as an experience as well!
Jeff Su - Just found your site and really enjoyed the first video. I'm working on transitioning my LinkedIn Profile for more exposure and your tips will certainly help. Thank you!
Glad to hear it Bruce! Let me know how it goes 😁
First video and I subbed after 17 seconds. Great personality shown off already
Alright, I'll try to get you to like within 10 seconds next time Kris 😁
Good job Jeff! This was good content. I love how you broke down the LinkedIn Audience.
Thank you Chris! Glad you found this helpful 😁
Hi Jeff, Thanks for the awesome tips and great content. After watching this I feel empowered to improve my profile and engage more on the platform. Comment Friday now has a permanent spot on my calendar.
That's awesome Melissa! Let me know how it goes 😁
Hey jeff. I really learnt a lot from the video
Glad to hear it my friend! 😁
