Subject: LinkedIn Best Practices
I have compiled a list of 10 best practices to employ when using the social network LinkedIn. I hope you find these beneficial.
1.) Send a short welcome message to start building a relationship with the new connection.
2) When you receive a message reply promptly
3) Use your summary to show your interests, passion, and key skills.
4) Have a professional headshot – Against a clean background
5) Make sure people can reach or find you by providing your email or any other contact information
6) Join the right LinkedIn groups to show your engagement in your field
7) Add projects, volunteer experience, languages to show your unique experiences
8) Treat your profile as a resume to highlight your best accomplishments
9) Keep track of who viewed your profile to connect with them
10) Keep your profile updated
In conclusion, LinkedIn can be used effectively to increase your incredibility, job prospects, and career growth. I hope the Write as Rain writing group finds these practices and tips helpful when using LinkedIn.
