People treat LinkedIn like their morning newspaper.

They scroll with their coffee. Check in before team huddles. Lurk quietly between meetings.

And just like a newspaper, they start to recognize who shows up on Page 1. Not always the loudest. Not the flashiest. But the most consistent.

Here’s the truth many lab professionals forget:

🧪 No one is coming to find you inside the lab.

Not the recruiter. Not the opportunity. Not the global health grant. Not the podcast invite. Not the mentor. Not even the collaboration you dream about.

To be seen, you have to step out, and show up.

💡 Post what you know.

💡 Share how you’re growing.

💡 Document your pivot story.

Because while you’re waiting to get it perfect… Someone else is quietly building visibility, and being remembered by the right people.

🔁 The ones who scroll in silence.

🔁 Visit your profile without liking a thing.

🔁 Reach out when there’s a role you didn’t even know was open.

LinkedIn isn’t just for extroverts or influencers. It’s for anyone serious about growth. And in this era, visibility is a compounding asset.

So whether you’re trying to pivot into sales, public health, consulting, or Quality Management… Make your voice louder than your lab coat.

This is your reminder:

🌱 Consistency > Virality

🌱 Storytelling > Self-doubt

🌱 Visibility > Waiting quietly

You don’t need to be everywhere. You just need to start showing up where it matters.
