career. Shoot for at least 200 - 300 words.Tell a

to write an online résumé. Don’t just include your

that tangentially relate to what you’re doing now,”

77. “List your skills. Below Experience and Education you’ll
find “Skills & Expertise.” LinkedIn introduced this feature
in Feb. 2011.This section tells potential employers what
you can do. It also gives your connections the chance to
“endorse” you for those skills. Drag the most important
skill at the top of the list.”
4.SHOWTHATYOUCAN

on the page of the person who recommended you.

Solution and the Results you achieved.”

and what gives you the strength to network. Find people
that are in the same field, who share the same interests, and
those who speak about the things you are passionate about.

with them. Don’t just connect, build a relationship”

81. “LinkedIn is not a personal privet network, it’s like being at a
big business networking event, it doesn’t make sense to
refuse to shake hands and exchange business cards! So If
someone with a good enough profile, sends you a request to
connect, and even if you don’t know them,ACCEPT. !
There is great power in having a larger network on LinkedIn”
8.WELCOMEEVERYONE
82. “The best way to get a new job is through a referral,
anyone will tell you that. By increasing the number of your
first degree contacts, you have more people who can
introduce you to hiring managers that you didn’t have
access to.That is provided you built a good relationship
with them, not just connected a few years ago.”
