Today, I’ve got a LinkedIn Tip for you: grow your network, connect with ex-colleagues. So many people don’t realize that everyone has a network. You never know, someone you worked with 20 or even 10 years ago could be hiring. I can write a book on this; many of my clients have found their next opportunity through this.

They know how you work, they know how you perform. The bulk of the jobs are hidden, so take advantage of networking. Connect with ex-colleagues now. You never know what value they could bring.
