Linkedin is a social website for Career minded individuals and also for Professional networking. The Platform www.linkedin.com was founded on december 14, 2002 and eventually launched by may 2003.
Most of us, at some point of time, must have come across
LinkedIn and might have even used it. But how much do you know about LinkedIn?
What role does it play in enhancing your career? LinkedIn stands as one of the
world’s largest social networking portal, yet most of us don’t use this for our
career growth and rather rely on popular employment sites while searching for
jobs.
Creating an account on LinkedIn isn’t enough, there is
much more to explore in it and if you haven’t already tried your hands at
LinkedIn to yield your professional career, here’s how you can up your LinkedIn
game.
Establish Good Connection
LinkedIn is a great platform to connect with
professionals and business leaders in your field. Such connections are
invaluable for your career growth. However, just knowing them or getting your
invitation accepted isn’t enough. You need to strike meaningful conversations
and clear all your doubts related to your career and good connections do
exactly the same
Get Good Recommendations
During the job interview process, we are often asked for
references. LinkedIn’s recommendations are an amazing way to get yourself
noticed. Ask your colleagues, your mentor or your former boss to take out some
time and write a recommendation for. This way when people would go through your
profile, they would think highly of you.
Understand The Difference Between Facebook And LinkedIn
Although you might not be the one doing it, but there are
some people who start liking and commenting on images randomly and at times
even flirt with women. This is strictly a professional place and you can’t get
personal with people, making them feel uncomfortable and giving out a wrong
message.
Promote Your Skills
Whether you are working, are an entrepreneur or looking
for a job, LinkedIn is a great tool to showcase and promote your skills. Create
a portfolio or a presentation of your work and accomplishments and share it
with your LinkedIn connections. You never know who gets impressed by your work.
Don’t Let Your Resume Overshadow The Profile
We are not suggesting you delete your resume from your
LinkedIn profile, but often when we run out of words for our profile, we end up
taking hints from our resume. Soon we realize that our profile is nothing but a
mouthpiece of our resume. Don’t just stick to job title or summary, mention
things that are not mentioned anywhere in your resume. -(Credit: Mensxp)
