What's good, Tech Elites!! Today, let’s tackle that LinkedIn profile networking opportunity you’ve been ignoring (yes, the one with notifications you’re pretending don’t exist). When I started out, my network was just the IT team from my warehouse internship. What changed? I stopped treating LinkedIn as a digital resume and started using it as a gateway to real conversations with people I admired. Here’s the exact message I sent to a CTO that led to a game-changing mentorship: Hi [Name], I noticed you transitioned from help desk to CTO in just 6 years—that’s incredible! Would you be open to sharing what you believe was the most pivotal decision in your journey? I’m currently in help desk looking to grow into leadership, and your path is inspiring. That’s it. - No asking for a job. - No lengthy life story. - Just genuine curiosity and respect for their journey. Your Turn... 10-Minute T.E.S.T. Challenge: 1. Find someone whose career path excites you. 2. Send them a brief message (use the template below). 3. Share in the comments:Who you messaged (their role/industry).What you hope to learn. Template: Hi [Their Name], I noticed [specific detail about their career path that impressed you]. That's really inspiring! I'm currently [your current role] looking to grow into [your target role], and I'd love to learn from your experience. Would you be open to sharing [one specific question about their journey]? 💡 Pro Tip: Connect with people 2-3 steps ahead of where you are now. They remember the climb and are often happy to help others up. Drop a comment when you’ve sent your message. Let’s see who’s making moves and building connections! 🤝 #TechEliteAcademy #Networking #CareerGrowth #TEST

Ready to unlock the most powerful real estate on your LinkedIn profile? Your headline! Too many IT professionals waste this space with generic titles like "IT Support Specialist" or "Network Engineer." Let’s turn your headline into a scroll-stopping, recruiter-magnet masterpiece. Here’s my example: - Old headline: "IT Project Manager" - New headline: "I turn "IT Guys" into highly paid, sought-after Tech Elites | Instructor & Consultant | +15 Years Experience | PhD Candidate" See the difference? FEEL the difference..? Why this works: The new headline: - Highlights impact and value - Includes scale (e.g., 15+ years, I turn...) - Showcases versatility (multiple roles/capabilities) - Leverages power words like Transforming and Leading Your T.E.S.T. Challenge: 1. Open your LinkedIn profile right now. 2. Craft a new headline using this formula: [Value You Deliver] | [Proof/Scale] | [Unique Differentiator] 3. Share your before/after headlines in the comments. 4. Tag one person whose headline inspires you. 💡 Bonus: Tell us what inspired your new headline! This small tweak can 14x your profile views. Position yourself as a Tech Elite, not just another IT pro. Need ideas? Check out the comments—I’ll be reviewing and giving feedback on headlines all day! Let’s make those recruiters come to YOU. 💪👀 #TechEliteAcademy #LinkedInOptimization #CareerGrowth #TEST

Ever catch yourself in a tech meeting, about to share an idea, but then thinking, "My background isn't traditional enough" or "They probably won't take me seriously"? You're not alone. I see brilliant IT pros downplaying their unique qualities every day, starting sentences with "I just..." while watching less qualified (but more confident) folks shoot up the ladder. The worst part? Companies are desperately searching for people who think differently, while you're sitting on exactly what they need. Time to flip the script. Let's turn those "weird" qualities into your tech superpowers. I'll kick this off: 💡 My Psychology Degree Everyone else: "But it's not computer science!" Me: "Yeah, that's exactly why - I can talk to humans AND computers. Wild concept, right?" - Translate geek-speak into human - Read the room better than anyone 💡 Started as a $10/hr Warehouse Guy Could be embarrassing, right? Nah: - Know the tech stack from the ground up (literally – I moved it) - Can relate to every level of the organization - Living proof you don't need to start as an IT guru 💡 Mixed Technical/Project Background: The classic "jack of all trades" fear? Please: - Speak both tech and business (bilingual, baby!) - Know enough about everything to be dangerous (in a good way) - Can call BS when vendors try their sales magic Your Turn: 👇 Drop your 3 unique qualities below! And none of that "I'm just..." business. We're done with that today. 💡 Pro Tip: The thing you're most self-conscious about? That's probably your superpower in disguise. (Looking at you, fellow "non-traditional background" folks!) Bonus Challenge: Find someone else's comment that makes you go "Wait, that's actually really cool" and tell them why. Let’s boost each other up! Your quirks are your features, not your bugs. Let’s hear ‘em! 🚀 - Kyle
