Announce on LinkedIn your new role, making sure to tag your company and what this opportunity means to you.
For everyone that engages with your LinkedIn post from the company, go out of your way to connect with them.
This doesn’t mean just adding them as a LinkedIn connection.
It means finding them internally and striking up a conversation.
This is so powerful because these colleagues have already shown an interest in your career and it’s well worth your while to reciprocate.
Advancing your career is a team sport, not a solo pursuit, so it’s best to connect with colleagues who are proactive supporters.
This advice is also great in reverse!
If you see someone post that they’re starting at your company, proactively reach out to them and take an interest in their career.
Not only will they appreciate it, but you never know where that connection might take you.
Meaningful connections lead to meaningful careers.
