I’ve noticed that not all profiles are created equal. Some lack easy ways to connect to the person. Others are really incomplete. Here’s what I think you might consider doing and why (*note: if for some reason any of this violates LinkedIN’s terms of service, I’m not aware of it- so feel free to correct me): The trick of it all is that you get out of LinkedIN what you put in. If you throw up a profile that roughly covers the details, and barely populates the profile with much of interest, you’ll likely not get connections beyond former coworkers looking to hitch their debris to yours. Should you be seeking to cast a net, develop relationships, and eventually find other opportunities through LinkedIN, you’ll want to put a little more effort into the site. What’s Your Story? Has LinkedIN done much for you? Do you have tips I didn’t cover that you’d recommend to prospective upcoming superheroes? Share your thoughts and ideas in the comments, and let’s open the discussion to better understand the ways LinkedIN can build opportunities for you for the future.
