If you're an African looking for a job on LinkedIn, please stop leaving your career to the algorithm. 200 connections are not enough. And posting every day won't magically get you a job. Here's what many LinkedIn coaches won't tell you: Your network matters as much as your content. Who are the people in your network? Are they recruiters? Hiring managers? People working in your target industry? People who can refer you when an opportunity comes up? You need to understand the demographics of your network. Having 200 connections is one thing. Having 2,000 connections who work in your target industry is another. The goal isn't just to grow your numbers. It's to build a network that gives you access to opportunities. Yes, keep posting. Build your personal brand. Share your knowledge. But don't stop there. Connect with the right people. Engage with them. Build genuine relationships. Let people know what you do. Stop leaving your career to the algorithm. Build a network that can open doors for you.
