Subject: Research Concerning Best Practices for Professional Networking on Linkedin

As you have requested for July 5, 2022, I have read the provided sources concerning networking on Linkedin. I have compiled a list of best practices for networking on Linkedin below.

Best Practices For Professional Networking on Linkedin are:

• Create and maintain a Linkedin account

• • • create a Linkedin account with a profile picture
      • a profile picture attracts more views
    • maintain the account via keeping recent work experience, resumes, and references up to date
      • first impressions gained glancing at a profile are important
    • post content such as work achievements and projects
  • Connect with relevant parties
    • connect with former colleagues and classmates
      • this should be done in a personalized manner to increase the likelihood the recipient will read the message
    • reach out to people who are connected to your colleagues who work in your field of interest
    • join linkedin groups associated with your field of interest
    • ask for specific advice from those in your field of interest
    • promote those in your network and their achievements
  • Keep things professional

• Only post what you want a prospective employer to see.
