A short synopsis of LinkedIn Best Use & Practices

2. Gone are the days of phonebooks, rolodexes and resumes on
pretty linen paper. Also gone are the days when hiring managers,
HR professionals and recruiters sorted through piles, upon piles,
of paper resumes in order to source the ideal candidate(s). Simply
stated technology has changed the way we look for work and
present ourselves to prospective employers and business
associates.

3. LinkedIn is the number one place to show off your career
successes, accolades, and education so that business
contacts may get to know more about your professional
experiences. It’s also the place your business contacts go
to see what you’ve accomplished, where you’ve worked,
and which parts of the industry you’re most interested in
and engaged with.

7. As we wrap up, allow me to reiterate, LinkedIn is a powerhouse
networking and career search tool. Whether your goals are to
expand your career placement options, network with peers
within your industry or to highlight your academic achievements
as you start towards your chosen profession. LinkedIn will get
you there. It is the preferred social networking tool of HR
Recruiters, as well as those looking to expand their B2B and
B2C reach.
