LinkedIn profiles with a professional headshot receive 21 times more profile views and receive 9 more connection requests. Are you building your personal brand there in 2021?

We are all in this together

How many LinkedIn Learning courses can you complete within twelve months? This is the question veterans should be asking themselves. Why? Because LinkedIn provides you a one-year FREE premium subscription to veterans who are new to the platform. Giving you instant access to LinkedIn Learning.

At the beginning of 2019, I was getting heavy into LinkedIn. Building my professional brand on the global network with 690 million active users currently.

Voted by Business Insider as the most trusted network three years in a row. Digital trust is critical for brands and social platforms because it affects customers’ willingness to engage with your content and advertisements.

When I took advantage of the FREE 1-year premium LinkedIn subscription for veterans I immediately went to class on LinkedIn Learning. The best part about it is that once you complete a class you get a certificate and can add it to your completed courses on your profile. See below.
