The following are some simple tips from LinkedIn to help its members get even more value from the platform:
- Include a photo in your profile: This increases the chances of your profile being viewed by others by 14 times. Your photo should portray you as a professional.
- Join Groups: LinkedIn groups are subject matter specific forums, providing a space for members to post questions, network or discuss relevant topics. It’s easy to find groups using the search feature at the top of your homepage and simply click join once you have found a group that interests you.
- Share insights: When you come across interesting news articles or insights at a conference you attended, share it with your network via updates on LinkedIn. This is also a great way to interact with, and engage your professional network with conversations. Another way to share your expertise is to publish blogs or long-form content on LinkedIn.
- Showcase your skills: Enhance your LinkedIn profile by adding skills you are proficient in, to increase your chances of being discovered by others. When deciding on skills to include, think about tasks you work well on and what skills these demonstrate.
