One of my clients, let's call him G, came in the other day and told me he had just received an offer of employment. He added that it was directly due to something I had recommended. Here's the rest of the story.
G and I had been talking about his desire to re-brand himself as part of his strategy. I suggested he consider writing a Pulse post for LinkedIn that demonstrated some aspect of his expertise.
At first, G wasn't so sure. After some heming and hawing, he did it. He wrote and published the post.
Soon thereafter a former colleague rang him up to compliment him on the post. That led to a conversation...and to the job offer.
The former colleague, it turns out, is an entrepreneur currently growing a tech start-up. And he needed exactly the skills that G was offering to the marketplace.
G credits the Pulse post with raising his visibility to his own network.
