As of last week, NSCSS' LinkedIn membership rose above 10%. We also now have an NSCSS LinkedIn group, which 3% of our members have joined. A link to the group has been placed on the NSCSS home page.
It only takes a few minutes a day (8 minutes is enough), to get the most out of LinkedIn:
Add Job Details to Your Profile. Let viewers know about your interests and accomplishments.
Add Education to Your Profile. Make it easy for fellow alumni to reconnect.
Choose Your Vanity URL. (www.linkedin.com/in/yourname) This professional touch makes it easier for colleagues to catch up with you when you enable your public profile.
Import Your Address Book. This is the most effective step you can take in expanding your network.
Install the Outlook Toolbar. If you have Outlook (I don't).
Install the Internet Explorer Toolbar. I don't use MSIE much so I installed the alternative companion for Firefox. Now, when I use Gmail, I can click through to see if a senders email address is registered with LinkedIn. An invitation to join my trusted network is one-click away.
Enable Your Public Profile. Places your LinkedIn profile in web search results so that the professional image you earned is presented to the world.
