Content: Julie,
You’ve always been so supportive of me, so I wanted to reach out and let you know that I’m in the midst of a job search. I’ve had a great experience at my current firm, but I’m looking to join a larger company and ideally manage a national team. I’m really excited to make the move! Would you have some time in the next few weeks for a brief phone chat so I can seek your advice on the transition? I’d really value your perspective. Thank you,
Lindsey
Remember, the key here is to ask for advice and not a job. You can read some more sample messages in my previous post on tapping LinkedIn for your next opportunity. 5. Choose the premium LinkedIn badge
For those using LinkedIn’s Job Seeker Premium, you have the option to include the Job Seeker Premium briefcase badge on your profile to indicate that you are looking for a new position and help you stand out in searches. I highly recommend that you turn that badge on for public job searches, but if you’re seeking privacy, visit the Premium Badge section of your Settings page to select the general premium “in” badge instead.
