So you just landed a big promotion - congrats!
Not only do you get the new title and compensation, but you now have a chance to pave the way to your next promotion - just by sharing your news on LinkedIn.
And as someone who used to lead LinkedIn’s Education Team, I’m thrilled to show you the two ways you should add your promotion to LinkedIn…
As a former leader of LinkedIn’s Education Team and the official LinkedIn trainer for organizations from Harvard Business School to the Canadian Olympic Committee, by far the #1 question I get is:
“Is LinkedIn Premium worth it?”
To find out, let’s first examine how much LinkedIn Premium costs. And then let’s weigh that price against what it can and can’t do for you.
Dr. Sara Laskey, M.D., has quite the variety in schools she calls alma maters.
She’s been educated at Northwestern University, Second City (improv comedy troupe with a reputation as a feeder for Saturday Night Live), clown school (seriously!), and a top medical school.

“Why do I even need a LinkedIn profile???”
As former LinkedIn staffers, we heard this all the time. And as current career coaches - we get it. With job-seekers being asked to spend hours on resumes, cover letters, networking, and more, yet another “Must-Have” component can just feel like overkill.
But what if it turned out that having a great LinkedIn profile could actually save you from all that work?
Everyone knows that referrals are the slam dunks of the job search world: They make you look awesome and are practically guaranteed to help you score an interview.
So why do so many people apply for jobs without them?
Because no one ever teaches job-seekers how to actually get one. Until now that is... :)
