Improve Your LinkedIn Profile

Dominic Wolff, author and business owner, gives a step-by-step guide on how to expand network, impress potential employers, and attract possible business partners through his released book, Your Killer Linkedin Profile (In 30 Minutes or Less).

Linkedin is a business-oriented social networking service, founded in December 2002 and launched on May 5, 2003. It is mainly used for professional networking. Linkedin reports more than 259 million acquired users in more than 200 countries and territories, and is available in 20 languages. It traded its first shares on May 19, 2011, under the NYSE symbol LNKD.

“I find Linkedin, in particular, very useful for finding professional connections on the Web,” says Wolff. As a person who believes in structure and productivity, he supports using Linkedin because it opens professional opportunities that would otherwise not be possible with the traditional way of networking. LinkedIn allows the exchange of knowledge, resources, career information, and business opportunities.

In Your Killer Linkedin Profile (In 30 Minutes or Less), Wolff guides the readers on the entire process of registration and creating a LinkedIn profile, which, according to Wolff, only takes about 30 minutes. As Linkedin functions as a virtual résumé, storage facility, a directory, and even instant messaging for business-related topics, Wolff assures that users can increase visibility within the marketplace.

In steps 2 to 4, Wolff provided a variety of examples to guide readers in making their own.

Aside from creating the Linkedin profile, Wolff adds pointers on how to optimize the communication settings. “Communication is the essence of networking.” Wolff points out the importance of communication to sure a healthy in-flow and out-flow of messages and to make connections genuinely interacting.
