∙ Paid

EDIT: the paid articles of The European Engineer newsletter have moved to Beehiiv. They’ll now be available to the subscribers of EuroTopTechJobs.com, as complementary learning material to facilitate landing the top jobs from the job board.

LinkedIn can be one of the biggest enabler of your career.

Knowing how to leverage it optimally can make the difference from:

Not having mentors in your career
Not having recruiters find your profile for high-quality jobs
Not having a network of people at great companies willing to refer you

To having all of that.

And more!

It is a powerful tool. And you should be leveraging it to the best you can.

This guide is meant to help you do exactly that.

So that you can:

Find mentors willing to help you grow your career
Have recruiters find you
Apply to jobs with strong referrals and a much higher chance to landing top-paying positions, like the jobs at Euro Top Tech Jobs
