[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is fantastic! Well done  and thank you for sharing the story. 💯

PSA: this is a good example for people who haven't ever bothered to try to network because they thought their job path was secure and who wants to waste time with chitchat or web media.  Well, it matters!

It was a bit accidental. When job hunting the more connections you have, the more you post original content, comment, get views or comments/likes on your posts the more you move up algorithm. So original goal was to get more views on my job applications and more recruiters viewing me

My most popular and harmless posts are to this day when I explain the history of things in Financial Services that most people would never know or just tell story from my past. I don't know why people find it interesting so much

For instance on September 16, 1920, a powerful bomb exploded on Wall Street in front of the J.P. Morgan bank headquarters, killing 38 people and injuring hundreds. The perpetrators were never caught. I would have a picture of me in front of location where bomb went off and the building still has the damage marks they never removed. Kinda informative. People walk by building all the time and never notice the damage in the stone work from 1920. Stuff like that would get a lot of views and comments.

Too many people post crazy stuff on LinkedIn. My stuff is just interesting stuff someone can say that's interesting I am going to tell my spouse when I get home or my coworkers.  Remember my intent was to job hunt and just keep my name in the algorithm. Which also values pictures and videos. For instance  I posted a short video in May 2020 of downtown DC by monuments in Covid and you see me drive 30 seconds with zero people on streets. And I just wrote a one sentence comment on how everyone is staying safe. But the video got clicks as was interesting. I did not say a word or film me. It was just 30 seconds of dead empty DC at mid day. It sounds simple but I am not too busy to keep it up. But surprised people all remembered it in the conference.      [/quote]
