15. Create a Killer Profile
A good LinkedIn presence means having a good profile.
The LinkedIn profile you create will be discoverable through
the millions of searches on search engines and on LinkedIn.
Since you are in complete control over what others see, it is
vital to showcase your skills and talents so the right people
and opportunities find you.
While it only takes a few minutes to create a LinkedIn
account.
It takes a dedication, time and a level of added effort to
create a good LinkedIn profile. You need to give it 100
percent – quite literally. Fill in as much information as
possible.
16. A Good Profile Works Hard
It will act as your first impression, appearing in
the results for thousands of searches on LinkedIn,
Google, and other Internet destinations.
It supplements your resume. When sending a
cover letter and resume by email, include a link to
your LinkedIn profile. Given the opportunity to
view your profile, most recruiters will take it.
They’re more likely to spend time exploring your
LinkedIn profile than any attachment.
It serves as your resume. Since your LinkedIn
profile can be saved in PDF format, it’s possible to
use it in lieu of a resume. It’s current. It’s
customized. It’s professional.
17. Harvest Recommendations
Since LinkedIn profiles are public, they also imply
a level of credibility and authenticity that resumes
often lack. To take full advantage of this, you need
to harvest recommendations:
◦ For each employer, try to include three or
more recommendations from coworkers,
clients, or supervisors. Recommendations
from people you have worked with carry a lot
of weight.
◦ For each educational institution, try to include
at least one recommendation from an
instructors, advisor, or peer.
18. Harvest Recommendations
Solicit recommendations from contributors who
can describe aspects of your working
relationship that will benefit any potential
employer.
Choose individuals who have a flair for writing.
Don’t be afraid to ask colleagues to write about
specific characteristics: your creativity, your
ability to solve problems, your leadership, etc.
Ideally, you’ll want a series of recommendations
that compliment each other.
19. Be an Expert
Standout on LinkedIn by becoming known
as an expert.
To do this, visit the ‘Answers’ area of
LinkedIn to view questions from other
LinkedIn subscribers on a variety of topics.
Answer questions related to your area of
expertise. When you provide the best
answer to a question, the submitter can
identify your answer as ‘best.’
If you provide the best answer enough times
to a topic, you’ll be designated as an ‘expert’
by LinkedIn.
20. Build Your Network
The power of social networks is
founded on its size and strength.
The trick is balance these two aspects
of your network. When it comes to
networking, size matters.
LinkedIn is a great place to connect
with everyone you know professionally
and personal contacts that are willing to
share connections with you.
22. Facebook Privacy Settings
It's not 'all or nothing'
Share 'what you want' with 'who
you want'
To adjust your privacy settings:
◦ Go to Facebook.com.
◦ Click on the drop-down
"account" menu in the top
right corner.
◦ Drag to "privacy settings."
