"The survey of 2,000 professionals by Robert Walters found many people are ‘career cushioning’, which refers to someone setting the groundwork to leave a role because of uneasiness about their current position.

Sharing with your LinkedIn network (and beyond) about losing a job is common. But so is misrepresenting yourself in the process. Too many people over-expose their sadness, anger, and bitterness, that by the time they get to the par…https://t.co/e9rZWJdGaT https://t.co/AYkcMBAFtV

If you have a difficult time asking for the salary that you should have, or negotiating more money or other perks, know that employers actually expect candidates to negotiate. Also know that the salary you end up with often won't be what you're worth unle…https://t.co/Rnuio18NJ2

The About section is notoriously difficult to fill in. After all, most of us aren’t copywriters. In fact, a recent survey showed that the About section is the most difficult part of building a LinkedIn profile for nearly everyone.…https://t.co/YgF8IHo1J3 https://t.co/12TyMKJoD2

@morphingmyself @DrMcFillin Empathy. Priceless! (Wish more folks had it.)

@DannaLorch8 @LinkedIn I think they do and they don't. As far as freelance job postings--forget about it. However, the freelance service provider feature has worked very well for me and many others I know.

I do agree that some people still seem to see freelancing as unskilled gig work.

@SuzyHuber I love this: "It’s as simple (and hard) as that."

I was reading comments earlier from people complaining that @LinkedIn didn't "work." I had to remind them that when you buy a shovel you still have to do the digging.

Do you avoid applying for jobs you know you are qualified for, and have experience in, because you don't have a #degree?

A degree is great to have, but not always necessary. You may actually be more qualified for a job than someone with a degree, so don'…https://t.co/jnPEyMo17r
