A few weeks ago a friend of mine asked me questions about linkedin.com and how I benefited by using it so far. I have been meaning to respond to her questions but didn’t have a chance to do it. Now, I realized that this information may be useful for other people too, hence I’m sharing it here.
Below is an overview of a few useful features on linkedin.com that I’ve benefited by since I first started using it.
- One place for your resume
- To connect with colleagues, past and present
- To discover new connections
- To join groups of similar interests
- To help people solve problems
- To stay up to date with your network
- To recommend and get recommended
- To look for jobs and apply for jobs
- Search visibility and personal branding
Facts from Guy Kawasaki on the subject:
- People with more than twenty connections are thirty-four times more likely to be approached with a job opportunity than people with less than five.
- The average number for Harvard Business School grads is fifty-eight, so you could skip the MBA, work at Google, and probably get most of the connections you need. Later, you can hire Harvard MBAs to prepare your income taxes.
- All 500 of the Fortune 500 are represented in LinkedIn. In fact, 499 of them are represented by director-level and above employees.
- The average number of LinkedIn connections for people who work at Google is forty-seven.
