HOW TO EXTEND AN INVITATION TO CONNECT
Do NOT use default invitation: “I'd like to add you to my professional network on LinkedIn.”
Personalize:
Subject line: Your TED talk inspired me to write
Dear Mr. Jones,
Your TED talk reinforced my decision to switch from teaching political science to a career in journalism. I enjoyed our brief conversation afterwards. I’m sure that your updates on LinkedIn would be very helpful as I gather the information I need to make this transition. Would you be willing to connect with me on LinkedIn? I’d be very grateful and please don’t hesitate to ask if there is anything I can do to be helpful to you.
Sincerely,
![Page 13: Optimize your Linked in Professional Headline and Summary](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061118/545bc85eaf79594e128b5b42/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
