Pathfinders, a Kansas City-based IT company, has developed a training course in how to properly use LinkedIn. They shared some of their tips.
DO
Build up your profile to 100 percent by posting your picture, getting three recommendations, stating your job history for at least the past 5 years, listing your skill sets, etc.
Keep your profile up-to-date, and offer a weekly update on your professional status that is sharp, relevant and marketable.
Stay active on LinkedIn by continuing to expand your network virtually and in-person at local networking events.
DON'T
Do not ask for too many recommendations at one time. LinkedIn and others will think you are spamming.
