Have you heard about LinkedIn and what its all about? LinkedIn is one of the popular social media platforms similar to Facebook and Twitter but is a business-oriented social networking service. It focuses on professional networking.

 

Most businesses have already started using LinkedIn to recruit and screen possible workers and employers. Signing up an account on LinkedIn may make a big change when looking for your next job. Once you have signed up, you may then start to create and add information to your profile page, which should only consist of a short summary of your skills and employment history that will serve as a kind of online resume.

 

The key purpose of LinkedIn is to make account holders like workers and employers to make personal account on an online social network which may show professional relationships in the real-world.

 

LinkedIn makes it easy to add people and get new and current contacts, called connections. To add or get a connection, click on Connections. If you know someone that you want to add, just go to the option Connect. You may then create a simple message and click Send. You will also be able to know the number of connections when you go to your profile page.

 

Easy tips while adding connections

 

  • Determine to connect with people you know, when creating your LinkedIn profile. Syncing your existing email contacts and utilizing LinkedIn’s search bar to find old friends, schoolmates, and coworkers.

 

  • We recommend revising the invitation message when adding a new connection. Make sure the person sees why you are considering to connect.

 

  • When someone attempts to connect with you, make sure you look for any mutual connections. Ask for an introduction and clarify why you are requesting for one. However,  give your connection a chance to decline the request.

 

Social media platforms not only allow you to get real-time events and have a way to get entertained. Like LinkedIn, it is a great way to connect with people to showcase your professional side or introduce your business in your industry. It is also a great way to get job opportunities and offers as well as possible leads to close sales for your business.
