CREATE AN ACCOUNT

When you create an account, linked sent you an email, so you need to verify the email in order to sign it.

If you’re new to LinkedIn, the first thing you’ll need to do to begin successfully connecting with others is create an account and build your online profile.

STUDENT EXPERIENCES

Here, you will modify 1. Student Experience2. Where do you study3. Which year are you4. Favorite Activities

You can describe in a short paragraph about your recent professional experience.

PROFILEThe LinkedIn profile is essentially your online “resume” and how you present yourself to the rest of the users on the site. •Create a clear, accurate profile.•Make sure you fill out every section.•Upload a photo (Make sure it is professional and appropriate)•Create a professional headline•Detail your education and professional experience completely but concisely.

MAKING FRIENDS

This is how you will expand your virtual network of professionals. You can add other LinkedIn members as connections by clicking “connect” next to their name or on their profile page.

Make sure you add people you know already to build up your connections. These can be friends, colleagues, classmates, former bosses or co-workers. 

ADVANTAGES OF USING THE FEATURES OF “RECOMMENDATIONS”

This feature is relatively new and a great way for your references to let other LinkedIn users know about you.

•Ask for recommendations or endorsements from colleagues, former professors or supervisors. •Give recommendations to others—what goes around, comes around.

ADVANTAGES OF USING THE FEATURES OF “GROUPS”

Join groups that are of professional interest to you so you can begin to see and connect with others with similar career fields.

Do not confuse “groups” with “companies.”

Monitor group activity.

Add to discussions.

Build relationships with new connections.

Make connections

ADVANTAGES OF USING THE FEATURES OF “COMPANIES”

Many companies will create a “company page” on LinkedIn to represent themselves and build their online presence.

The company page is similar to the brand or fan page on Facebook, where a company generates activity and discussions and shares updates.

This page allows you to see basic information about the company and people who you may know that currently work there. You can also view any job openings currently vacant at the company.

You can also invite people at this company to connect and include a message.

ADVANTAGES OF USING THE FEATURES OF “JOBS”

The “Jobs” section of the site may seem like the most obvious place to find a job using LinkedIn, but it’s just as important to maintain a solid group of connections, join groups and stay up-to-date with companies’ news.

The “Jobs You May Be Interested In” section of the “Jobs” page will already pull listings the site thinks will appeal to you based on your profile and preferences on the site.

Save a Job: You can “save” a job you are interested in at any time.

HOW YOU CAN USE LINKEDIN TO BOOST YOUR NETWORKING AND PROFESSIONAL CAREER?

Remember that your LinkedIn profile can do much more than a paper CV, so avoid the clichés and get creative.

Be specific about the skills you have that make you good at your job. Your connections can now endorse these skills.

Pursuing a dream profession and starting from scratch is a daunting prospect, especially when you have a lot to learn, but LinkedIn is a hub of business information that you could be using to your advantage.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO HAVE A DIGITAL PRESENCE?

Visibility –How much digital real estate do you occupy?  How visible are you? Having a solid presence online helps you become the dominating top-of-mind producer in your field.

First Impression – Recently, a friend suggested referred me to a colleague.  The very first thing I did was google this person.  I found his LinkedIn profile and learned all about him.  His profile was his first impression with me.  

With the rise of the Internet as the go-to research tool for consumers, a robust digital presence is more important than ever for businesses looking to reach new audiences and gain more customers.

HOW LINKEDIN CAN HELP YOU TO START CREATING YOUR DIGITAL PRESENCE?

Optimize Your LinkedIn ProfileMake Meaningful Connections on LinkedIn

Get endorsed for your skills.

Updating your social profiles in general is useful, but updating your LinkedIn can really set you apart from your peers. List your recent jobs, post long-form posts, and generally just be there. The great thing about LinkedIn is that you can spend 1 hour on it and have a profile that is better than 90% of your peers’ profiles.
