Loading ...In today’s economy, people understand that networking is important. Whether it is in-person or through social networking sites, for the most part, people try to take advantage of networking.
However, because people often associate LinkedIn as a place to find jobs, they forget about how powerful it can be for networking. Nicole Williams, LinkedIn’s Connections Director, told us that the professional network could actually be a game changer in terms of a person’s career.
As she explained, LinkedIn is a platform that is full of credentials and qualified referrals that people need to be utilizing. Through products such as LinkedIn Today, users can keep up with the latest developments and events in their related industries. Additionally, the company recently introduced Causes to allow users to get credit for their volunteer efforts.
Williams said that both these areas, among others, create great networking outlets, which could lead to potential job opportunities. Are you taking advantage of them?
Hi,
even as an newbie, I grasped the potential that LinkedIn had, from the time of opening my account. To me it is not forgotten networking power… it only will grow with the time.
Thank you for opening the topic on Networking on LinkedIn & Why You Better Be Doing It, which will help determine in taking it more serious.
You’re welcome! Glad it was useful.
Thanks Nicole
We are about to try and harness the networking potential through targeted advertising on LinkedIn. Our clients are professional women so it seems logical to use LinkedIn’s powerful profiles to drill down and find the absolute right audience for our product.
Linkedin is growing fast! Glad to see things are being added! Thanks for this video!
Great video. My LinkedIn account hit 22,000 direct connections last week. The number means very little without a strategy. With a strategy in mind, any business, small or large can leverage the power of LinkedIn as we have and continue to do at SecurityRecruiter.com.
HI
wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
With havin so much content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright infringement? My site has a lot of unique content I’ve either authored myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my authorization. Do you know any ways to help stop content from being ripped off? I’d really appreciate it.
