LinkedIn Examination

From my experience, LinkedIn is great for forming business connections, for sharing your expertise (and becoming more known for it), and for opening up communication with other people who are either in your field or interested in it. I have read a lot of excellent articles and conversations of people who are very experienced with what they do on LinkedIn. I have also made several connections with people in my current industry, or with people with whom I can form a mutually beneficial business relationship. My advice for utilizing this site to the fullest would be to make a powerful profile (using tips for constructing worthwhile resumes), to engage in conversations through industry groups, and to add business relations or friends who hold value to you (and to not blindly go adding a lot of strangers who will randomly endorse you, as it will make your profile look less than genuine).
