LinkedIn is a great tool for anyone who is looking to build their on-line identity and it offers multiple features for finding people and being found.
One of my favorite features on LinkedIn is the profile section. It allows users to create an elevator pitch and mini resume and broadcast it to hundreds of thousands of users in a global 24/7 environment. These profiles are searchable by keyword, so it is easy to quickly find people who work in a particular industry or company, went to a certain school, or belong to a particular professional organization.
LinkedIn helps users quickly turn a cold call into a warm lead by blending the concepts of networking with the profile section that helps job seekers market their candidacy through their on-line resume, specialties section, and endorsements area.
LinkedIn is kind of like networking in one really big elevator with tons of decision makers listening to your message on the way up. Give them something worth listening to. Create a robust profile on LinkedIn today and enjoy the ride!
Here’s a great post from the ERE blog that discusses how to beef up your LinkedIn profile.
