Hey There 👋 

Happy Better Yourself Friday! We have entered the month of love and our primary focus will be based on something that quietly plays a huge role in your career journey, your digital presence 💻 Whether you’re actively job hunting, exploring opportunities, or just starting to think about your future, there’s one thing that’s almost guaranteed: Someone will Google you. Someone will check your LinkedIn. And that first impression? It matters more than we realise.

Think of LinkedIn as more than just an online CV. It’s your professional story. It is how you show up, what you care about, and what you’re working towards. A strong profile does not mean having everything figured out. It simply means being intentional about how you present yourself. Your skills, your interests, your experiences (yes, even side projects and extra-murals!) all tell a story worth sharing.

The next time you revisit and revamp your LinkedIn profile ask yourself, does my LinkedIn profile reflect who I am right now? Is it clear what I’m studying, building, or interested in? Would someone understand my strengths within 10 seconds of landing on my profile? If the answer is “not quite” that’s okay. That’s exactly what this month is for.

Make some time over the weekend to update one section of your profile, until you complete your transition. Work on your headline, profile photo, your “About” section and add your latest experience. Small tweaks can make a big difference over time. As the month progresses , we will be unpacking how to show up online with confidence, without feeling fake, forced, or overwhelmed. You’ve got a story worth telling. Let’s make sure it’s being told well. 💼🌍

So without further ado, here’s another installment of Better Yourself Friday

Let's Gerrit!
