Should you produce content on LinkedIn? Or is applying and perfecting your profil enough?

Applying should more than suffice but I think you would have more success if you were posting content on there. My job profile and work opportunities increased when I started to cross post my content on Twitter and LinkedIn so there is value in doing it.

Filling out your LinkedIn profile in a way that amplifies your skills and best qualities is most important. This should be the focus for people who are new to the field, or people with only a couple of years of experience.

Producing content on LinkedIn and other platforms becomes important and useful once you have established some credibility in the field. Some markers of credibility include completed or active projects (open source or otherwise), years of experience, and/or a track record of working with or building reputable companies.
