20 Ways to Begin & Improve Your LinkedIn Presence

20 Ways to Begin & Improve Your LinkedIn Presence

On July 23rd I was able to log on to a great webinar sponsored by LinkedIn. The title of the webinar: "LinkedIn on Campus: Exclusive Training for Career Services Professionals" led me to believe that I would hear about things I already knew about LinkedIn- making connections, updating my status and seeking out new connections. I’ve been a member of LinkedIn for over a year now and thought that because my profile stated it was "100% complete" that I was set…wow, was I wrong!

It is currently home to 43 million users with one new user sign-up per second! http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/08/12/linkedin-reaches-45-million-users/ The site boasts employers from 150 industries and Executives from every Fortune 500 firm; as well as 37,000 college and university 'Groups'- I’ll get to Groups later.
