How to Network on LinkedIn. Also if you want to take a break from your job, how many months savings you should hold. My salary is less than Rs. 50,000 and I have a work experience of 6 years in field of education. Please guide.
Ans: Thank you for getting in touch with me on Rediff Gurus. Networking on LinkedIn can be a valuable tool for expanding your professional connections, exploring new career opportunities, and staying updated on industry trends. Start by ensuring that your LinkedIn profile is complete, up-to-date, and professional. Use a clear profile picture, write a compelling headline, and craft a summary that highlights your skills, experiences, and career goals. Include relevant keywords and skills to improve your visibility in search results. Begin by connecting with colleagues, classmates, mentors, and professionals you know personally. Personalize your connection requests with a brief message explaining why you'd like to connect. Engage with their content by liking, commenting, and sharing posts to stay on their radar. Join LinkedIn groups relevant to your industry, interests, or career goals. Participate in group discussions, share insights, and connect with fellow group members who share similar interests or expertise. Engaging in group conversations can help you build relationships with professionals outside your immediate network.

Regarding taking a break from your job, the ideal amount of savings to hold depends on your individual financial situation, expenses, and risk tolerance. As a general guideline, financial advisors often recommend having at least 3 to 6 months' worth of living expenses saved as an emergency fund. Best of luck! Feel free to contact me on Rediff Gurus if you need further assistance or help.

Hi, Could you support to get my resume well tailored manner suitable to current industry trend & demand for a job
Ans: Mrutyunjaya, Here are a few easy steps to assist you in refining your resume: (1) Set up LinkedIn Job Alerts according to your domain (2) Write down and prioritize keywords from job descriptions listed on LinkedIn (3) Create a resume using the keywords you've selected using the free edition of the "cultivatedculture" website (there's no need to pay for the premium version). (4) Begin sending out resumes in response to job postings and LinkedIn Job Alerts (5) Prepare your resume to be used with applicant tracking systems (ATS) so that it may be submitted through various channels. (6) Use your profile to identify potential employers and recruiters, and then submit an application to their human resources department. (7) ABOVE ALL ELSE, make sure you have a dedicated professional email address for all of your job applications and LinkedIn profiles. Do not use your personal email address to apply for employment. (8) Apply for jobs every day, but keep track of the firms and jobs you apply for so you don't have to apply again. 9) Network with people in your field, not to solicit jobs but to get advise when you need it. (10) Connect with me on LinkedIn if you're still in need of additional tips and would like to receive a complimentary 25-page eBook on "RESUME BUILDING" that I developed after much research. All The BEST for Your Prosperous Future.
