Benefits of Google drive and Linkedin

2. DEFINITION
Google Drive is that it’s an online file cabinet where you can
store documents and other digital files. It’s accessible from
wherever you have Internet.

3. BENEFITS
 Backup Your Precious Files
Google Drive is a better storage alternative than an external hard
drive or USB stick because they can both begin to malfunction or
become corrupted over time, meaning that you’ can lose your
precious files forever. Not with Google Drive, though.

4.  Send Large Files
If you happen to use Gmail, also using Google Drive will allow you
to send large files to your contacts directly from your email account.

5.  Use Google Drive App to Access
Documents
Should you need to access any files
while on the go, you can download the
Google Drive app to your smartphone.
You can use this if you need to give a
presentation or show proof of
purchase.

6.  An efficient built-in search engine which allows you to find
content easily with a keyword search. You can also look for files by
owner or by file type.

7.  Google Docs
Google Docs lets you create documents, spreadsheets and
presentations online, and work simultaneously with partners or
colleagues on a same document. Changes appear in real time
and are saved for thirty days. Google Docs also allows you to
add certain access privileges to your files and determine who
can view, edit or comment a shared document.
 Google Docs is a word processing tool (like Microsoft
Word).
 Google Slides is a presentation tool (like PowerPoint).
 Google Sheets is a spreadsheet tool (like Excel).
 Google Forms is a survey creation tool (like
SurveyMonkey).

8.  Storage
Google drive has 15 GB of
storage (including your Google +
account and your Gmail).

9.  Google Drive is equipped with an OCR (optical character
recognition) function, which allows you to search for words or
expressions in scanned documents. For example, finding someone's
name in an old newspaper article that was scanned and saved on
Google Drive is possible thanks to OCR technology!

10.  The program is free!
On Google Drive, your data can’t get lost, no matter what you do to
your computer!

12. MY PROFILE

13. LINKEDIN PROFILE
 Show people who you are, where you’ve come from– This is the equivalent
to your online resume and it’s perfect for showing off your experience.
 Show off projects, pieces of work you’ve completed– It’s much easier to get
people to contact you if you have displays of your work. Add links, images, and
other documents to show what work you’ve completed, if it applies.
 Get traffic to your website– When people like what they see on your profile
they will look at your links and visit your website.

14. GROUPS
 Traffic to blog posts– Groups are a great place to share you newest blog post, if they are
relevant. Sharing irrelevant posts will get you blocked which means you’ll have to have every post
moderated before it is published. Use this function moderately to share good posts. I even suggest
adding it by starting a discussion and asking a question about it.
 Access to experts in other areas– When you have a question, it’s best to find experts in that
industry and ask. They helps with consultations and second opinions as well. In groups you can easily
find the best experts to consult with.
 Extensive network to connect with– Being part of a group gives you access to 3rd party
connections who you wouldn’t otherwise have the option to connect with. Under the members
section of each group you can look at the member list to see who else is there, what they do, and how
to connect it them. This is much like a backdoor access.

15. RECOMMENDATIONS
 Let others recommend and endorse you for your skills and past work–
Get some social proof for your skills and talents. When others recommend or
endorse you, anyone who sees your profile can see these and it shows you have
other experts backing up your claims to have certain skills. This is very powerful
in making connections.

16. FOLLOWERS
 Share posts your followers will enjoy– This gives you a place as
a thought leader among your followers and shows them you make
being connected to you worth their time. You can use Fan Page
Robot to discover the great content and topics.

17. PROFESIONAL LIFE
 If you have a job, plan to have a career, or want to someday do a
task professionally, Linkedin is a great place to begin making
connections that can and will be beneficial. It isn’t just for finding
jobs, it’s for growing your business relationships.

YO U R N E T WO R K I N G A N D P RO F E S S I O N A L
C A R E E R ?
 if you want to exist in the professional world, you should have a solid LinkedIn
profile. LinkedIn currently has over 400 million users, and 94 percent of recruiters
use it to search, contact, vet and hire candidates. LinkedIn is useful for many aspects
of your career: networking, keeping up with your professional field, building and
maintaining your online presence, and job searching. Hence, LinkedIn can
essentially be your career-management tool. Once you have a solid profile with a
good summary, relevant sections filled out, a professional picture and a customized
URL , you can leverage LinkedIn to manage your career.

19. . WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO
HAVE A DIGITAL PRESENCE?
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.
Having a good personal online presence is preferred for couple of reasons:
 It helps you get more opportunities as you are easy to be found (on LinkedIn or
Google)
 It helps you tell your story the way you want it to be told

20. HOW L INK E DIN CAN HE L P YOU TO
START CRE ATING YOUR DIGITAL
PRE SE NCE ?
 Nowadays, employers consider it a red flag when you are not
searchable online. A clear and concise LinkedIn profile is usually
what they will look for. Aside from showing that you have digital
skills (which are increasingly becoming a requirement in most jobs)
and you are tech-savvy, having a LinkedIn profile also says that you
are up-to-date on current trends in the professional world.
