I have a profile. Now What?
By now your profile should be well on its way to standing out in the crowd. So now what do you do? Complete the skills, recommendations and experience sections of your profile. Upload a professional headshot, change your background photo to reflect you and add supporting documents to your profile in the various sections with this feature.
Once done, start to connect. Reach out to friends, family, co-worker, former colleagues and members of groups you are in. Build up your connections then begin targeting prospective employers at companies you are interested in working for or in the industry you wish to be employed. Remember, LinkedIn is about having a presence, not just a profile. Get active, share content, engage in conversation, show appreciation and connect with others. Use LinkedIn for the powerful networking tool that it is.
