  1. Profile Refinement:

Your profile is the place which speaks about you to other people and serves as a base of all your identity. It is the most important part of you online, whether on any social media and more often it is the most ignored point too. Being on a professional social media platform requires you to be more professional with your profile. You display your various skills, education, experience and your professional network, so it has to be entirely at the top to make you a respected personality of sort.It is a digital CV which has more than just your hard-copy-illustrated information, with inclusions of various features like recommendations or links to your completed projects or assignments.

The recruiter likes to go through as much as good references and past project reference in gauging a person’s ability and persona. The more and accurate information is present in your profile, the more chances you have in your hand to grab that dream job offer. You can use various widgets that can add some shines to your basic profile such as adding some special achievements, awards, etc.

  2. Connect More:

It’s an age old saying that better you connect with more and more people in your industry field as well as with other industry people, the better your prospects are and the more respect you attain from the professional community everywhere. It allows you to connect with people from your previous work places, with current people as well as other like-minded and future co-partners too. LinkedIn’s most valuable feature is its ability to connect you with other professionals. These connections will surely help you in one way or other, and as from life’s experience no one can deny this fact. The links make things work and not isolation.

In fact, Linked also provides a special feature in this regard – Add Connections, which will search through your email contacts and polish out the contacts that can be of your advantage professionally. LinkedIn has a service that will scour your email contacts to find potential connections. It scrubs your email contact’s personal profile and returns you the viable options.

  3. Add images and videos to your profile:

Not just a plain profile depicting your personality, skills, education, experience etc., but now you can add images and videos to your Linked profile to make it a great profile or should I say your complete online identity.

  4. Groups:

The enhancement or should I say, the upgraded definition of – Linking to others. There are various LinkedIn’s Groups which are categorized on the basis of industry, job type, business type and likewise. It gives you a great platform to connect with people, who are not even known to you but belongs to the same industry as you.
