A friend of mine who is a recruiter told me that some days he spends up to 10 hours a day on LinkedIn trying to find job candidates. Did you hear that? 10 hours! LinkedIn is vital to your professional career and your job search. It is not just about connecting and making networking contacts. Companies and recruiters actively search for qualified candidates all the time one LinkedIn. It’s easier than going to the HR department and asking them to release a job opening.
Don’t forget to utilize your LinkedIn profile. Make sure it is up to date and is potential employer friendly. You should review and update your profile every few months just to make sure you have your best foot forward.
