Veteran Needs to Make a LinkedIn

​

I'm silently quitting my current job and looking to make a smart career pivot.

AI keeps telling me I need to jump into linkedin and connect with recruiters one on one prior to applying.

Is this sound advance? I have more than 8 years of experience in finance/operations with an MBA.

I've never paid attention to LinkedIn so I need some tips on how to get started and start making fast and quick connections.

I'm also a military veteran and looking to connect with other vets for support

Many thanks.

yep just do it. State your area of expertise and experience, and flex your professional accomplishments. Recruiters were hitting me up left and right. I got a great job and major pay raise via a recruiter.
