Why You Still Need LinkedIn & 3 Steps to Get Started was originally published on The First Gen Coach.
LinkedIn gets a lot of hate, and much of it is well deserved. But it is still an excellent tool to level up your career. In this episode, I break down why LinkedIn is still an extremely powerful tool for first-gen and Latina professionals (yes, even in 2025), and how to actually make it work for you. I share why the platform is more than just a job site, and how you can use it to get noticed by recruiters, potential clients, and more. I also talk about what it really means to show up authentically online, especially when so much of the job market feels grim and discouraging.
If you’ve been avoiding LinkedIn or feel unsure where to start, this episode is for you!
