Edit everything before you post. Claude gives you a great starting point, but your voice matters most. Change wording that sounds off. Add details that feel right. Make it yours.
Your LinkedIn presence builds over time. Each post teaches your network a little more about what you know and who you are. That visibility leads to opportunities. Better offers come your way when people already know your work.
