LinkedIn Pr...How to boost up your LinkedIn profile! <BR/><BR/><BR/>LinkedIn Profile: <BR/>LinkedIn is a great tool within global strategy. First you have to boost up your profile with enough and correct information of who you are and what you have done like: <BR/><BR/>http://www.linkedin.com/in/thomaswolfnorway <BR/>- combined with Facebook: <BR/>http://www.facebook.com/posted.php?id=5509951833 <BR/><BR/>With enough boost you will make your profile trustable for people / companies that does not know you. You will then be able to achieve the same trustable results with world wide business contacts with in a short period of time (days) compare to earlier where you hade to use months to achieve only a few large/vital business contacts. It works great for me!! <BR/><BR/>A boosted profile will in best case make you accepted for potential future business deals. Now you will have good use of making group(s). <BR/><BR/><BR/>LinkedIn Groups: <BR/>- Make a group where you invite selected contacts by market, size, product / service etc. <BR/>- Use the group to inform them about your concept / business deals that is handmade for them - (I am using my own website with username and password for the members) <BR/>- Keep them informed of news and development that you want to keep away from competitors and other contacts that is not selected to the group (other business, market, products etc.) in other business. <BR/>- Create different group to your other business areas that you are going to be in. For example: you may create a group for recruiting/staffing â then you can invite potential candidates to this group and chare information that no one else can see. <BR/><BR/><BR/>I think the future use of groups will explode and the days of contacts seeking groups is over, and the time for groups looking for contacts will start:) <BR/><BR/><BR/>Good luck! <BR/><BR/>-Thomas <BR/><BR/><BR/>NOTE: <BR/>I am missing a very useful application that I hope will come in the future LinkedIn. That is internet / web links in every new position that we create/adding in our profile. Many of us have an old recommendation that is hopeless to get today, you may achieve a lot with only text and recommendation but a picture tells 1000 words and it would be great to show our work / what we have made in real pictures. You do not buy a (in your mind) house only by reading a text where I tell you how perfect I have made it and some recommendations that says that the work is excellent! You need to see some pictures before you are able to make a picture / idea of what you have done and this is the most trustfully way to show / tell about your past. So it would be very helpful if we cold add 3 or more web / internet links (interactive) in each position we create in our profile. You can see my solution in my profile and understand what effect it will make for your LinkedIn users and your program value by solve this easy application for us!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14507985.post-23502718099789227482008-02-21T13:29:00.000-08:002008-02-21T13:29:00.000-08:00Jacob,Thank you for posting your comment; your Gig...Jacob,<BR/><BR/>Thank you for posting your comment; your Gigantic Tips Guide is a great resource!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236545483224335990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14507985.post-35724457918195000322008-02-21T12:08:00.000-08:002008-02-21T12:08:00.000-08:00Hi Rick,Just wanted to tell you that I mentioned t...Hi Rick,<BR/>Just wanted to tell you that I mentioned this post in my recent blog article:<BR/><A HREF="http://jobmob.co.il/blog/gigantic-linkedin-job-search-tips/" REL="nofollow">Gigantic Tips Guide for Finding Jobs With LinkedIn</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14507985.post-58494243830901991302008-01-12T10:52:00.000-08:002008-01-12T10:52:00.000-08:00I have loved using Linkedin.com.
