I never really liked LinkedIn, mostly because I find cringe and annoying.
I obviously have a LinkedIn profile which is up to date, but I’m almost never active on it and I made the dumb mistake of not connecting with a lot of people that I’ve worked with on the past (mostly because I wasn’t actively using LinkedIn), so I have an embarrassingly low number of connections.
When I was in college, I mostly relied on college sponsored networking events which was to get internships and I got my current full-time job as a SWE at a reputable company as an internahip return offer.
I’ve been at my current job for ~2.5 years, I really like it there so I don’t really plan on switching jobs anytime soon.
However, the horror stories I read online from the current job market scare me and I want to be as prepared as possible in case I get laid off. So, I’d like to increase my LinkedIn network more so that I can leverage it in case I have the need for it.
I’d rather do this now that I don’t need a job instead of being forced to do this if I lose my current job.
Do you guys have any advice for my situation?
Thanks!
