Subject: Summary of Best Practice Tips for LinkedIn
As per Assignment 2.2, I have researched and found some tips that may be helpful when networking on LinkedIn. Here are ten tips:
- Make connections: Use the “People You May Know” feature, try to connect with old colleagues and friends of friends. The more connections, the better able you are to network.
- “Optimise” your profile: ensure your profile is detailed and filled out. Make sure it is professional looking and free of typos. Be sure to include a professional-looking profile picture.
- Add an effective headline: doing so allows recruiters to scout you easily and aids them in knowing what you are currently working on.
- Connect with strangers in your field: Send them a quick message with why you want to connect with them.
- Share your insights and stories: participating and posting allows you to be seen by others and display your professional skills and experience.
- Make personal connections: Be sure when messaging people to add detail and show that you spent time reading their profile and are interested in what they do.
- Attend LinkedIn events: this allows you to meet like-minded people and potential connections.
- Join LinkedIn groups: this allows you to connect with people in the same professional field as you.
- Add recommendations to your profile: include recommendations from colleagues, clients, and individuals that can make you seem more credible.
- Give and receive endorsements: get people to confirm your skills and abilities.
LinkedIn offers a world of opportunities for making connections and networking. Your connections can get you a job or advise you throughout your career. I hope you found these tips helpful; please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
