A really good reason to have a LinkedIn presence…

Are you vested? “A networker likes to meet people. I don’t. I like accomplishing things in the world. You meet people when you want to accomplish something.” Reid Hoffman, cofounder LinkedIn

Before you can harness the power of LinkedIn,you need to be invested in completing your profile Upload a current photo You need to list three recent jobs Complete your educational facts Receive three recommendations Chances are you will need to ask for these Add your executive summary and your specialties

You will also need to edit your public profile settings to control your display

When selecting a photo of you Keep it professional and current But don’t be afraid to customize it if you feel comfortable Great examples of professional and creative Creative but a more little risky

About Recommendations LinkedIn lets you receive (and give) recommendations You should strive to receive at least 5 endorsements (remember you need 3 to have a completed profile) Try to get recommendations from a variety of people, 3-5 sentences in length Remember—RECOMMEND OTHERS! They will return the favor!

Recommendations—asking to be endorsed

Recommendations—asking to be endorsed continued

Recommendations—giving your endorsement

Enhance your profile with applications LinkedIn Applications enable you to enrich your profile, share and collaborate with your network. Applications are added to your homepage and profile.

Application examples in my profile

Are you volved? “And they don't realize that the real way connections happen is by meeting people through other people you already know and trust. Then it's a much easier conversation.” Reid Hoffman, cofounder LinkedIn, interviewed about "Big Deals" he made in business. Full interview found at http://www.forbes.com/2009/10/15/linkedin-career-networking-intelligent-technology-connections.html

Pursuing business deals through LinkedIn involves making the right connections

Your “connectivity” prowess Who should you connect with? LinkedIn offers you the ability to start with importing contacts from your email accounts You can tap into past or present colleagues based on job positions listed in your profile You can search for fellow classmates And the wildcard feature “people you may know” (kind of like looking through old yearbooks)

Before you start connecting… Give some thought to it—this is not like Facebook where high numbers signify popularity 500+ shows even for “open networkers” or “windmill networkers Read the person’s Contact Settings “Interested In” selections and respect it When sending an invitation, personalize it. Don’t just use the form letter. BEWARE sending invitations to someone who really doesn’t know you or care to If in doubt, or if the person is two tiers away from you, ask for an introduction or send an email. (Do this sparingly, your free account only comes with 5 at one time.)
