Tagging Someone in Your Post

Step 4: How to Tag Someone

The actual process of tagging someone on LinkedIn is quite easy. Follow these simple steps:

1. Open LinkedIn and begin writing your post in the update box as usual.

   

2. When you reach the point where you want to tag someone, type the "@" symbol followed by their name.

3. LinkedIn will show a list of people matching the name you typed. Select the correct individual from the list.

   

4. Complete your post and click "Post" to share it with your network.

   

That’s it, it’s literally that simple!

Step 5: Following Up on Your Post

It’s never pleasant to feel used, so don't let the conversation end with the tag. Maintaining the conversation with tagged individuals is important for building relationships.

Respond to comments and engage with those who interact with your post. If the discussion continues in follow-up posts, consider mentioning tagged individuals again if relevant. This keeps the conversation alive and fosters deeper connections.

Better yet, try messaging them privately to see if they’d be interested in collaborating on a series of joint posts. Suggest a topic that is relevant for both of you and that you’d each be able to provide unique insights on. Remember that if you don't ask, you don't get it. So try stepping out of your comfort zone now and then.

💡Pro Tip: If you want to attract the attention of a recruiter, consider creating a post about the company that interests you, highlighting its positive aspects while tagging the relevant team members.

This can be a great way to make a first impression and open up potential opportunities.
