- Don’t bring Facebook and Twitter behavior to LinkedIn.
- Almost everyone you meet at conferences or networking events are on LI, why aren’t you?
- What grabs your attention first?
- Protect your image by showing a professional
- Allow your headline to speak for you.
- Not just a business card, but having a complete profile can make creating resumes easier.
- But less than 11% of job seekers include a social media link on their resumesThis means that you have the opportunity to get a head start on 89% of the competition just by creating a LinkedIn account and getting it to 100% completion.
