Subject: Best Practices for Professional Networking on LinkedIn
As we prepare to build our professional online profiles, let us keep in mind the following best practices for using LinkedIn as a professional networking site:
- Including a professional profile picture, using a custom LinkedIn URL, and writing a comprehensive summary of experiences, skills, and desired careers can help make a great first impression and stand out.
- Connecting with familiar colleagues and professionals and joining LinkedIn groups targeted towards a desired industry or profession can help grow and expand your LinkedIn network.
- Having others affirm essential skills or projects through LinkedIn endorsements and personal recommendations can provide valuable credibility and ensure a stronger profile.
- Active content updates that are relevant and engaging, as well as following relevant industries, interests, and influencers, can keep your LinkedIn network informed and interested.
- These practices can assist us in building a strong professional network and showcasing our skills and experience to potential employers. We should also remember to update our profiles regularly with new skills, experiences, and accomplishments.
