Here's how you can be visible and make the most out of GlobalWelsh Connect…

1 . The Live Feed is where the action is!

• Share your good news and any updates from your career or business!
• Post a Trip or Check-in to connect with new members in-person
• Like and comment on posts from the community and show your support
• Post an event you have planned or one that the community might be interested in

TOP TIP: Make sure you use the ‘notify people’ function to tag others so they see your post - you can find people based on location, industry, skills, job…

2. Be discoverable and finish your profile

• At the very least, make sure you have a profile picture to maximise engagement (the system will mark you down if you don’t!) and headline
• Make sure your profile has a bio with a little bit about your connection to Wales and your most recent work experience - this will help people very quickly learn more about you - they can click on your Linkedin for the rest!

3. Use ‘Callouts’ to gain support for a project or venture

• If you’re working on a project or seeking an opportunity, make sure you submit a Callout to community source support, knowledge or collaboration. 
• Callouts get shared with the network, as well as on our social media platforms to enhance its reach to over 20,000 people!
