LinkedIn is one the greatest tools available for professionals today.

This slide share illustrates some key features so you know more about how to successfully use LinkedIn.
1. LinkedIn
LinkedIn should become your primary job search tool and
mastering the platform should become one of your top
priorities. Here are ways you can get a head start on your
competition.
2. Tips To A More Professional LinkedIn Profile
• Add a profile headline and summary.
The headline gives yourself a professional ‘identity’, a front that may or may not showcase some of the more detailed parts of
your profile, hidden away from viewers who are not connected to you. Asummary would bring out your
personality which can complement your Curriculum Vitae (CV) if an employer were to view your profile.
• Do not lie about anything.
Not only is it very easy to check and confirm just about anything on the Internet, it is also a sign of how ethical (or non-ethical)
you are. Appearing untrustworthy is never good for business.
• Customize Your Public Profile URL.
Pick the name you would like to display on your vanity URL. Your profile URL will bear your name, something like
‘linkedin.com/in/JackDoe’. You can even take it a step further by making sure that your vanity URL for
LinkedIn, Facebook and Google Plus are all the same, for added coverage.
3. Tips To A More Professional LinkedIn Profile
• Use LinkedIn badges on your website.
To find these badges, go to ‘Settings’ and then click on the link to ‘Edit your public profile’. To the right, you
will see ‘Profile Badges’. Clicking on ‘ Create a profile badge‘ will bring you to another page where you can choose
from the many designs available.
• Be Active in LinkedIn Groups.
Groups on LinkedIn is a place for members to share and participate in a professional setting in a
specific industry or area of interests. There are plenty of groups for job seekers your university alumni, specific
professions and a variety of associations from all over the world.
Being actively involved in these groups could lead you to make new connections and maybe land a new job,
especially since job listings are a common sight in these groups.
4. Things You Should Do On LinkedIn Each and
Every Week
• Update your status on your profile with either news about a connection or an upcoming activity that you
plan to hold or attend.
• Review your main stream and Like or Comment on things your network has shared.

5. Tips to Master LinkedIn in a Way You Never
Imagined
• Create a call to action.

However, you can guide the right people to find out more about you by providing a link to your website, other social media
assets and content you’ve created on 3rd party websites.

• Neglecting the Privacy Settings.
• Don’t use the standard connection request.
• Skipping the Summary.

prospective employer. It is recommended that you write it in the first person to give it energy and personality.

• Lurking.
Be active by updating your status regularly, join groups, follow companies and keep an eye on who is coming and going.
