Broadly speaking throughout childhood and into adulthood were brought up to believe that there were three broad categories in which people learn: visual learning, auditory learning, and kinesthetic learning.
According to Howard Gardner in his Theory of Multiple Intelligences there are actually 8 different types of intelligence, and understanding this will help with the jigsaw puzzle of knowing how to make your career rewarding or indeed, choosing a career that is a match for you. As a caveat though, critics argue that the Gardner definition of intelligence is too broad and that his eight different \"intelligences\" simply represent talents, personality traits, and abilities. What are the different types? 1. Verbal-linguistic intelligence (well-developed verbal skills and sensitivity to the sounds, meanings and rhythms of words). Do you like reading, writing, telling stories and memorising words along with dates? Career Pathways: Writer, Speaker, Translator, Politician, Journalist, Lawyer. 2. Logical-mathematical intelligence (ability to think conceptually and abstractly, and capacity to discern logical and numerical patterns). Do you like making sense from logic, reasoning, numbers and critical thinking? Career Pathways: Mathematician, Analyst, Programmer, Scientist, Detective 3. Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence (ability to control one’s body movements and to handle objects skillfully) In general, are you generally good at physical activities such as sports, dance, acting and making things? Career Pathways: Athlete, Doctor, Actor, Fireman 4. Musical intelligences (ability to produce and appreciate rhythm, pitch and timber) Do you normally have a good pitch or perfect pitch and are able to sing, play musical instruments and compose music? Career Pathways: Musician, DJ, Music Therapist, Sound Engineer 5. Interpersonal intelligence (capacity to detect and respond appropriately to the moods, motivations and desires of others) Are you sensitive to others’ moods, feelings, temperaments and motivations? Are you able to communicate effectively and show empathy for others? Career Pathways: Sales, Leader, Teacher, Entrepreneur 6. Intrapersonal (capacity to be self-aware and in tune with inner feelings, values, beliefs and thinking processes) Do you have a deep understanding of your strengths or weaknesses, what makes you unique and are you able to predict your own reactions or emotions? Career Pathways: Coach, Psychologist, Philosopher 7. Naturalist intelligence (ability to recognise and categorise plants, animals and other objects in nature) Do you have a sensitive, ethical and holistic understanding of the world and its complexities? Is the evolution of the world at the heart of everything you do? Career Pathways: Vet, Environmentalist, Chef, Horticulturist (“Tapping into Multiple Intelligences,” 2004) Since the creation of the original model two additional types have emerged 1. Spatial-visual intelligence (capacity to think in images and pictures, to visualize accurately and abstractly). Career Pathways: Photographers, Painters, Interior Designers, Graphic Designers, Navigators, Architects 2. Existential intelligence (sensitivity and capacity to tackle deep questions about human existence such as, “What is the meaning of life? Why do we die? How did we get here?” Career Pathways: Philosophers, Writers, Spiritual Leaders, Public Speakers, Meditation Instructors Try it out! Why not try the test and see what your results are? Visit Intelligence Type Test (idrlabs.com) Whilst I didn’t have a strongest type of intelligence my top 3 were:- Musical Intelligence (handy as I play the violin in a local orchestra!), Interpersonal Intelligence (ability to communicate effectively and understand people’s thoughts) and Naturalistic Intelligence (building relationships in nature), which are handy as a Career Support Specialist!

Are you seeking a new career or looking to shift your existing career in 2023?
Whatever you want then lets get started on the next steps… 1. Upskilling your knowledge Whether you want to learn new skills or hone existing ones will allow you to take advantage of more opportunities, either with your existing employer or with a new opportunity. 2. Networking For most people, their least favourite activity. However, when looking for a new role it is really all about who you know. Building strong connections with other people, both inside and outside your existing organisation, will help you to see things from differing perspectives and might help when you are looking for a new role. 3. Keep your CV/Resume up to date Having a current CV/Resume will allow you be amongst the first to apply for a role as you never know when your dream role might pop up. Ask for help from a professional CV writer, such as myself, if you are unsure on what to do. 4. Utilise LinkedIn Over recent years, more and more recruiters have started to utilise LinkedIn as a means of sourcing candidates (current estimates stand at 97%). If your profile is incomplete or badly written your profile might not get viewed. 5. Your accomplishments and value Ultimately a new employer and indeed your existing employer wants to know what value you bring to them. Take a trip down memory lane and remember the things you have achieved. Keep a diary or note of any key projects you have been involved in. 6. Focus on your weaknesses Looking at the areas that you might need to improve in before you can get promoted or take on additional responsibilities allows you to focus on them. 7. Get professional recognition Do you work in a sector which has an industry body such as ACCA for Accountancy, CIPD for HR or BACVW for CV Writers? This demonstrates your level of commitment to your job. 8. Ask for feedback Taking the plunge and asking for constructive feedback from your manager and/or colleagues might seem to be a scary thing to do. However, it can really help to grow your career and performance if you understand what your strengths, weaknesses and career achievements are. 9. Stay up to date within your industry This is one area that often is left until you need to do research for a new job opportunity. Try and take 15-30 mins a week to review the trade press, watch videos or see what influencers are up to in your chosen career field. It might spark some great ideas. 10. Learn when to say no and when to say yes Finding where your boundaries are will allow you to prioritise yourself, avoid burnout and can even help to further your career when you have the time to spare. Succeeding in our ever changing world requires you to clearly think about what you want from a career rather than conforming to the "perceived norm". Build your personal brand and show the world who you are and what you can bring to them. #careertips #careerstreamline #reflections Wearing different hats through taking on lots of different responsibilities, shifting between our home lives, office environments and social activities etc. can lead us to create an impression that we believe we should be portraying.
Do you feel that you leave part of yourself at the door when you walk into a work environment? Do you change your style to suit your manager or your fellow colleagues? Is your organisations’ culture expect you to perform and behave in a certain way? Many clients I have worked with over the last few years often state the same things when we first start working together … they don’t feel able to truly show themselves either at work or during an interview. As Henry David Thoreau said “Be yourself – not your idea of what you think somebody else’s ideas of yourself should be”. Being true to yourself through your thoughts, words and actions and having these three areas match each other is critical in an interview. Whilst it is normal to try to create an “interview persona” as you think this will allow you to “fit” in with the organisation or with the interviewer you are only setting yourself up for a fail. Of course, it is important to strike the right balance between being professional but also remain true to yourself. So what do you need to do to ensure you remain authentic throughout an interview process? Demonstrate the real you An interviewer is assessing whether you would be a cultural fit for their department and the wider organisation. Putting a false mask on distorts this image and may lead to you struggling with your fit with the team should you end up being selected for the role and is often the reason why people end up leaving. You wouldn’t want to work for somewhere that makes you question your personal values so why would you work for somewhere that does? It can be quite exhausting too if you are trying to portray a different image. Instead focus on showing your “why” in terms of your strengths, skills and expertise, whilst gauging whether the organisation is truly for you. Remember to think back to your research that you completed during your interview preparation how would you fit into the organisation? Weave your personality into your responses to interview questions. Think about how you handle situations e.g. focusing on solutions rather than seeing a problem as a mountain to climb, having a positive attitude to situations etc. An interviewer wants to know how you would react in certain situations. They don’t want to select you for the role only for you to sink very quickly. Keep your nerves under control Try and get yourself into a positive mentality before an interview. Remember an interview is a 2-way process not an interrogation. It is perfectly acceptable to take a moment before responding. Think about how you want to come across, try not to show your nerves. Adrenaline that is realised during strange or awkward situations can be tamed. You don’t need to put on a mask during an interview, show the real you! Preparation is key! You want to make a good first impression but don’t try too hard. When you are preoccupied with giving the “perfect” answer you often fail to demonstrate to the interview your true personality. It is important not to over-rehearse for your interview. If you recite a “perfect” answer you run the risk of sounding like a robot and missing the point of the question, indeed you could go off on a tangent which could actually lose the interview. To avoid this happening, write down the key pointers for each competency using bullet points to help jog your memory. This will then allow you to create a natural response during the interview. Focus on why this opportunity is for you What is it about the opportunity that sparks an interview or joy for you? It could be the mission, values, people or projects. Weave this into your interview to show that you have a real passion for the organisation and your true self will naturally come through. Don’t try to be perfect! Employers are much more interested in someone who recognises their development areas or acknowledges any past mistakes rather than a candidate who pretends that they are perfect. Afterall we are all human and no-one can be perfect! In conclusion, Give yourself permission to be your authentic self. Show an interviewer that you understand the role, the organisation and that you genuinely are interested in the role. Use the interview as an opportunity to show what you would truly be like to work with. #authenticity #interviewtips #interviewing #benatural Get rid of overthinking for good … How it could be stopping you from moving your career forward.9/19/2022 Do you find yourself constantly reviewing something over and over again in your mind? Questioning sometimes simple situations or events until you lose all sense of perspective and end up stuck in a recurring pattern of worry but without finding a means of resolving or concluding your thoughts.
We’ve all been there, me included! It is perfectly normal to sometimes dwell on a problem. However, if it is beginning to stop you from enjoying work or life then you need to really think about the cause of your tendency to overthink things. So here are some signs that you might be an overthinker… 1. Obsessing over past mistakes in your head. By constantly reminding yourself of past mistakes might make you reluctant to volunteer for future challenges or take on additional responsibilities which could have put you in the limelight and raised your profile within your organisation or with clients. Your past doesn’t define your future and everyone makes mistakes. Use these experiences as a means to grow by learning from them and find solutions/steps to prevent them from happening again. To be truthful if it happened in the distant past you are probably the only one to remember this. 2. You aren’t confident in your abilities. Continuously acting with the mindset of “you can’t do it” can lower your self-esteem and confidence and make you feel you somehow received the role you are in by chance and are not entitled to this role (often known as imposter syndrome). 3. Obsessively wondering what your colleagues and/or boss might think of you. It is natural to want to know what people are thinking about you and to form good and lasting working relationships with your colleagues and boss. However, you might not get continuous feedback or engagement from others which might lead you to worry. Just remember though that they might be busy or focused on their tasks at work which can make them appear unfriendly but genuinely don’t mean to be. 4. Waste time trying to reach perfection. If you find yourself spending hours upon hours continuously reviewing your work and what you do can actively lead you to become less productive in the long-run. In conclusion, what can you do to stop overthinking? The key is to remember that you are not alone in this and there are a number of things you can do to help yourself.

The first 90 days in a new job are an important time for many reasons. You are getting to know your new company, responsibilities and colleagues and they are also getting to know you. Impressions are formed on fairly limited information in both directions and as a new starter, it is important that you make the first 90 days count. So why 90 days? For most roles it is the standard probation period, a time in which an employer retains the right to terminate the contract of a new employee if they are not deemed to be performing to the required standard in their role. So you want to make sure that you excel during this tricky period. Today I will share with you the tips I’ve learned on delivering value to your organisation when starting a new position within the first months. #1 Start as you mean to go on The first day on your new job doesn’t need to be the first time you interact with your new team. Why not take the initiative to contact your new employer and ask for information about your new role and how it fits into the existing team and business goals so that you can formalise your thoughts and questions before you start. #2 Be Prepared to Absorb as much information as you can Absorb as much as you can about your colleagues, their roles and responsibilities and how the company operates. Form meaningful personal and professional relationships with your new colleagues as this is an important step in settling into any new role. #3 Be proactive Take the initiative and ask for work. There is always a tendency to underwork new employees which can be a good way of allowing them to bed in, however, there is a risk that you do not get to show what you can do and by being too passive it can be hard to make your mark. #4 Secure an early win Proving your worth early on is a huge way to build your reputation among your employer and colleagues. The early win does not have to be massive, just a tangible indication that you are capable. That might be delivering a task ahead of schedule, collaborating on a task or achieving a positive result. #5 Ask for Feedback Don’t hesitate to ask for feedback on how well you are doing. Be open-minded, and coachable: you will be seen as easy to communicate with, and people will be more likely to give you honest feedback. #6 Pitch your new ideas Show how you’ve approached the problem in the past, and present the outcomes. Find credible case studies or sources to support your pitch. And give time for your team and manager to digest the information. The first 90 days will most likely fly by and you’ll be firmly established in your new role before you know it. But keep in mind these tips and you’ll be sure to excel from day one. By preparing ahead you can show your eagerness before you have even started. Absorbing as much information about your role and colleagues will equip you to succeed. Being proactive and getting involved will show your colleagues and employer that you are serious about your new job. And finally, securing an early win is one of the best ways to really make your mark. In this increasingly busy world we live in it is not uncommon for people who are older, unemployed, overstressed, balancing family or caring responsibilities or simply tired of working too hard to seek a lower-level position.
If going for an interview for a role which is a step or several steps lower than you previously worked in you may be asked why. You need to convince the interviewer that you will be fully committed to the role and not just looking for an easy life. They want to make sure that you fully understand that the salary and responsibilities will be lower than in previous roles and that you are willing to give this up. They naturally don't want you to get bored or realise that the reduction in salary is too great within a few months. From a recruiter's point of view that is a bad outcome since recruiting and onboarding a new employee is time consuming and costly. The best approach is to focus on the attractive elements of your target job so why you are moving towards the lower level job as opposed to moving away from your current higher level role. Tip: Make a list of the most appealing aspects of the new role and relate these to your previous roles and what you enjoyed the most. It can also sometimes be helpful to share more personal reasons why you are interested in a lower-level role e.g. a more manageable schedule or lower stress levels. An example answer could be "I am sure you are concerned whether I won't stay in this role long-term. Actually I am eager to move into this role as I will be able to use the same skills I am using in my current role in a less high-pressure environment. I like to make a difference to an organisation but would like to step back from some of the high stake stresses of my current role". Remember to clarify that you are in this for the long haul and how you can add value to the organisation through picking things up faster (show your expertise and qualifications as a plus not a drawback). You could also strengthen your case further by ending the interview with the question "Are there any concerns you have about my employment that I haven't yet answered?". The key is to alleviate any worries your potential new employer might have. In conclusion, frame your answer in terms of what is appealing about taking on a lower-level position. #lowerposition #careerchange #stepdown When the word “networking” is mentioned, what springs to mind?
For me what instantly springs to mind is attending a meeting with lots of people associating it with awkwardness, cheesy events and where you have to “sell” yourself using an elevator pitch. However, networking doesn’t have to be this way. Networking can be completed on a 1-2-1 basis and is very much about building long-term relationships as well as a good reputation over time. It focuses on finding people who you can assist and who can potentially help you in return. It can mean the difference between a mediocre career and a phenomenal career. How can networking help your career (whether seeking a career or just wanting to widen your support)? 1.Strengthening your business connections Regularly engaging with your connections, and indeed finding opportunities to support them, will help strengthen the relationship you have and may lead to assistance from them when you need to. 2.Get fresh ideas or support Discussing common challenges or opportunities will give you an insight into a new sector or role before you actually make the move. 3.Raise your profile Raising your profile within professional circles will help you stand out to recruiters and you may get more offers as a result. 4.Get access to job opportunities Active networking will keep you at the forefront of people’s minds and increases the likelihood of receiving introductions to people who could help you or indeed a referral for a role. 5.Gain more knowledge The opportunity to gain new knowledge as a result of networking is an area which is often forgotten. Your network connection may be able to assist you with developments or techniques and offer new angles you hadn’t previously considered. 6.Build confidence Part of finding a new role is being confident to put yourself out there and showing others why you. Networking encourages you to step outside your comfort zone and you develop social skills and self-confidence that you can use elsewhere which will help you to make lasting relationships. 7.Gain a different perspective Asking for insights from contacts you admire will help you to see things in a different light and overcome any roadblocks that are currently stopping you. 8.Develop long-lasting relationships The benefit of networking is to develop and nurture long lasting relationships not necessarily for the benefit of finding a new role but also to help grow people around you who can champion you. 9.Get an answer to every question Having someone as a sounding board and help you bounce ideas off will let you put things into action step-by-step. As the saying goes “sharing is caring”. 10.Find a job you love You never know who is hiring for a role or might know someone who is hiring for a role and the more people you have in your network the likelier you are to be the first one to hear about an opportunity. So how do you start networking? The thought of starting a conversation with a stranger might fill you with dread but don’t worry if you follow these tips it will help you to overcome these concerns and master your networking skills.
In conclusion, network should part of your career toolkit and will help you stand out from the crowd. #networking #careerpathway #careertips In all of our working lives, finding our way through, reflecting and respecting our journey is important, even if it means stepping out of our comfort zone. A philosophy called 𝙄𝙠𝙞𝙜𝙖𝙞, loosely translated to mean "𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨" encourages you to do this. Ikigai provides a framework for you to analyse the four components of your life.
⭐ What I love (your passions). ⭐ What I am good at (my vocation). ⭐ What I can be paid for (my professions). ⭐ What the world needs (my mission). Knowing your ikigai can help you:- 🍀 Design your ideal work lifestyle 🍀 Create strong social connections at work 🍀 Create a healthy work-life balance 🍀 Pursue your career dreams 🍀 Enjoy your work You may face some challenges along with the way as you will have to ask yourself some difficult questions which might push you out of your comfort zone. 🔆 Feeling overwhelmed - set some little goals to achieve step-by-step which won't then lead to this feeling of climbing a mountain and not reaching the top. 🔆 Lack of time or perceived lack of time - schedule in that focus time in your day to truly identify what is most important to you. 🔆 Worry and anxiousness - it is natural human behaviour to feel scared or anxious when having to push yourself out of your comfort zone. However it will get easy over time. Once you find "your thing" it will help you truly focus on what is most important to you in a career and indeed your life. My "Planning For Your Future Career" toolkit helps you with identifying what is most important to you in a career and is available from the shop priced at £10.00.

Statistics today show that only about 2% of applicants receive an interview and making it this far is impressive. Are you sat there worrying about how you will demonstrate your skills, capability and experience to the interviewers? This blog will give you some hints and tips on how to show that you are the right person for the role. #1 Research the Company Often you will be asked what you know about the company usually through a question such as “What do you know about the Company?”. The interviewer is looking to see that you are you curious about the company, ask the right questions and know how to ask the right questions. Tip 1: Look at the company values, mission statement, company news, board reports and blog posts so that you can demonstrate that you are fully aware of what makes the company different and how you would apply your qualifications and interest not just to the job, but also to the company as well. #2 Research the Interviewer Find out a little bit about the interviewer or hiring manager through LinkedIn. Do you have any shared interests or connections? Photo by George Milton from Pexels Tip 2: Take a look at the profile prior to the interview but I would recommend holding off connecting until after. #3 Review the Job Description prior to attending the interview Look at the skills required – how do your skills align to these and think of some examples where you have excelled at this. Tip 3: Create a table with the following headings to assist you in reviewing the job description.
#4 The length of your responses – remember to be concise A general rule is to speak for no less than 30 seconds and no more than 2 minutes per answer. Photo from Pexel Tip 4: Consider using STAR & CARE when responding to answers (see section later on #5 How to handle the introductory questions often asked 1. Tell me about yourself Rather than giving a long-winded answer and risk rambling when asked this question consider responding by saying “I’ve had a lot of different experiences in my career, where would you like me to start?” 2. Why did you apply for the role? Remember your research on the company and job description. The interviewer wants to give you the opportunity to show your wisdom, insight and understanding about the job. Ensure you show:-
3. What are your goals over the next 5 years? Focus on the value this role has on your career: how it will help to develop your skills and how you are passionate about helping the company to achieve its objectives. Photo by Oziel Gómez from Pexels Tip 5: Remember an interview is a 2-way process! When answering the question on your goals it is perfectly acceptable to ask to interviewer at the end of your response what growth path they see for the role. #6 Owning the Interview Start the interview as you mean to. You need to show the interviewer why you are the best person for the job. 1. Express your appreciation for the opportunityFor example, “I’ve been really looking forward to this meeting today. I think that <insert company name> is doing great work in <insert particular field, work or project> and I am really excited by the prospect of being able to contribute”. 2. Prepare 3-5 key selling points in mind
3. Anticipate any questions around gaps in your knowledge or experienceFor example, “I know you may be thinking that I might not be the best fit for the position because (insert reservation) but you should know that (why they shouldn’t be overly concerned). 4. Pause before answeringWhat are they really looking for you to answer. If you are not sure about a question it is perfectly fine to ask “did you mean?” or “could you rephrase the question”. Tip 6 : You must sell yourself in creative ways and every answer you give should be tied with how it will benefit the company or the job. #7 Shifting your answers from operational responses to more strategic thinking if applying for management roles This is very much about showing your ability to look forward, encompassing both internal and external factors and setting a course of action for the business to yield the best results. 1. Think strategically
2. Talking strategically
3. Influence
4. Be open to criticism
Photo from Pexel Tip 7: Rather than only thinking short-term and focusing on what’s right in front of you, consider long-term, big-picture questions. This will expand your thinking and help you gain a broader perspective.
#8 Follow-up after the interview Many people fall into the trap of thinking that your work is done once you leave an interview. In a highly competitive recruitment market that exists in some sectors, it is important to stand out and demonstrate that you serious about the role. Send an email to the interviewers within 24 hours to re-iterate your passion for the role. Photo by Cup of Couple from Pexels Tip 8 : An example of what you could send can be found below:-
Dear<name>, Subject: – Interview on <Date> at <Time> Thank you for your time <yesterday / date of interview>. It was a pleasure speaking with you about <insert job title> role. I am very excited about the opportunity to join <insert company> and making a difference in <insert details>. I particularly enjoyed learning more about <insert any specifics or stand out from interview>. I'm convinced that the position is a perfect fit for this stage in my career and that my experience, qualifications and strengths will allow me to fulfil the job requirements effectively and support your company’s objectives. I very much looking forward to receiving an update from you. Also, feel free to ask me any follow-up questions that may have come up since we last spoke. Looking forward to hearing from you, Kind regards Name Originally posted to the British Association of CV Writers (BACVW) website on 7th October 2021. LinkedIn is one of the most untapped resources for people to utilise to raise their profile, whether seeking to build network connections or indeed to find a job. Whilst a large majority of people create an initial profile it often gets left alone until there is a need to find a job. This blog will give you some easy and quick wins on how to make your profile work for you even when you are asleep! 1.Make yourself memorable with great stories Your LinkedIn Profile needs to be a living, breathing document that clearly represents at all times who you are and what makes you unique. a. Share updates on topics related to your field adding your advice and insights on this to reinforce your experience. b. Make your profile visual by using videos or infographics to enhance your posts and add these to your featured posts. You could use your stories to advise network connections that you are seeking a new role. 2. Building Connections Image by Gordon Johnson at Pixabay When LinkedIn was initially set up it was designed primarily as a networking tool, effectively a Facebook for business! It is a great way to stay up to date with the latest developments in your field and to share information with others in your field. There are a few ways of building connections. a) Connecting with people you don’t know When connecting with someone you don’t know on LinkedIn, such as a person who works in a similar role at another company, add relevance by letting them know why you’re messaging them. You might say, “I’ve seen your posts and noticed some of your work. I really appreciate your perspectives and would love to connect.” LinkedIn has a section called “People also viewed” which gives you suggestions of people in similar fields or industries that you might want to connect with. b) Using the search box to find people from past organisations you worked in Building connections with people you know is particularly useful as you will able to ask them to complete a recommendation and give credibility to your profile. c) Choose to follow certain organisations You could use the search box by clicking on companies and selecting location and stating where you would like to look. d) Join LinkedIn Groups LinkedIn Groups are a great method to find like-minded professionals in your job role or industry. You can use to share ideas and discuss key topics and show your engagement and expertise within your chosen field. You also can use these groups to further expand your connections. You never know if one of these connections holds the key to your next role! 3. Using LinkedIn to find a job Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay LinkedIn has two main advantages when looking for a job. 1. Use your network connections to let them know that you are seeking a new role. You could do this by writing a post to add on your profile which says something like Hi everyone – I am seeking a new role as …………………….. and would appreciate your support in finding my next opportunity. I have x years of experience as a ………………… plus qualifications in ………………………………… What makes me different? Insert your key strengths / key skills Thank you in advance for any connections, advice or opportunities you can offer. #opentowork #journeytoajob #jobsearch #jobhunting 2. Find a job via LinkedIn Many organisations have recognised the power of advertising their roles through LinkedIn Jobs portal. As a candidate you can use the search box to restrict your search using elements such as job title, location and type of role (such as Hybrid, Remote or Onsite – a recent update to LinkedIn). Just one final point …..Remember your online footprint
Think about what other sites you are on and your security profiles for these. Are there any posts on sites such as Twitter that might affect your employment in the future? Posting something at the age of 16/18 could have repercussions for the rest of your employment life. Think before posting and ensure that your settings are secure and only accessible to your friends and not friends of friends. Some recruiters now check out candidates as part of the recruitment process to see that they fit with the visions and values of an organisation. #linkedin #linkedinprofile #linkedintips #linkedinjobs #opentowork #linkedinstories |
