 LinkedIn is a social networking website
oriented towards professionals and business
people. It is a fantastic tool to make
connections with other like-minded individuals
around the world. In essence, LinkedIn is
a platform that allows users to present
themselves and engage others to expand their
network. What you do with the
functionalities is up to you. You can
adopt a passive approach to LinkedIn or you can
actively leverage its powerful features to
achieve your objectives, whether they are to
gain insights into the working conditions at a
specific company or to promote your skills set.
In this section, you will find tips on how
to use LinkedIn to your advantage. Do not
stop at the surface however; spend a few hours
playing around in LinkedIn to see what features
appeal to you most. Your career is in your
hands. LinkedIn and the other tools that
are available on the Web are only that, tools,
waiting for you to use them as you see fit.
Be creative, think outside the box and beat your
own path to the career that you deserve.
In addition to the articles in this section,
we also feature some LinkedIn profiles from
Megan Koehler, professional resume writer and personal branding strategist.
We suggest that you spend as much time working
on your LinkedIn profile as you would spend
working on your resume. Once your profile
goes live, it can be seen by anybody. You
never know who is going to view it, so make sure
that your profile is top-notch.
