Top 7 LinkedIn Techniques to Help You Find a Job

The year is coming to a close and the new year will be here soon.  If you are still looking for a job, now is a good time to use Social Media to reach out to your network.

I've observed that many of the Social Media sites are upgrading, modifying, changing, and readjusting their functionality.

LinkedIn, the business social networking site, has also undergone changes this year.  I have my personal new features that I love and will share them in another post.

The video below demonstrates how to use Social Media to find a job on LinkedIn.

I recommend that you visit LinkedIn and if you are not yet a member, then become one.  Membership is free and the Fortune 500 are already there and post open positions on their LinkedIn page.


Be sure to do the following immediately:

1. Fill out your profile 100% - this will help people to find you and connect with you.
2. Use the "add applications" button to import any blogs you already have on the web.
3. If you have any videos, add them to your profile.
4. Add your white papers, articles, books, etc. 
5. Connect to people from your Alma Mater, Fraternity, Sorority, and previous employers.
6. Join LinkedIn Groups that match your interests and industry.
7. Contribute to the groups you join by answering questions posed by members
