Reaching out to a stranger can sometimes feel daunting, so here are five tips for writing a good "connect" email:ġ) Include your photo – People respond more readily to a smiling face than compared to a bunch of words, so be sure you have a photo on your profile – a smiling headshot containing no other people.Ģ) Keep it brief – Be to the point with the message. Then you contact them and request a career chat - also known as an informational interview - to learn more about their job, their career path, and what advice they might have for you. It's actually pretty simple: you use your LinkedIn contacts to find people working in careers that interest you.


One of the best uses of LinkedIn is for exploring careers.
