How manyhave a LinkedIn profile?
Before we begin . . .I am a firm believer in principles—out of the chute,
you should know there is no “silver bullet” to networking
Create your personal brand
Your LinkedIn profile is discover-able through search engines and on LinkedIn. Showcase your skills and talents so the right opportunities and people find you.
Network and (re)connect
With more than 37 million members, LinkedIn is the world’s largest professional network. Use the knowledge, experience, and connections of your network.
Share your wisdom and expertise
LinkedIn is a good place to share and exchange business information online. Ask a question and get fast answers from your network and experts worldwide.
Also, build your professional credibility by showcasing your knowledge, expertise, and interests by answering questions.
Connect with opportunities
Having a LinkedIn presence allows those looking for someonewith your experience, knowledge,and skills to find you.
Conversely, when you’re looking for that special (and sometimes hard-to-find) talent, LinkedIn can help you locate it.
The basics
Create a profile
· List your current and past positions & education. · Add a profile photo. · Add a summary paragraph.
Create your “real-world” network.
· Use webmail import to see all the people you know who are already on LinkedIn. · Upload a contacts file from Outlook, Palm, ACT!, or Mac Address. · View your colleagues and classmates that are already on LinkedIn.
Leverage the power of LinkedIn!
· Look up someone’s profile; see who you know in common to get off to a fast start! · Search for and select service providers based on trusted recommendations from people in your network.
