So, you have joined Linkedin, the next step is:

Today’s Tip:

Fill out your profile completely.
Filling out a profile on Linkedin is easy and should not be skipped. In most cases, you can cut and paste descriptions right from your resume.
If you go to the advanced people search on Linkedin, you will see how recruiters can search for keywords, location and other variables. If I were looking for a Lotus Developer with Perl Scripting experience (which I am right now), I would put Perl and Lotus Notes in the keywords field. If someone were a Lotus Notes Developer and only put a job title, they wouldn’t turn up in my search, even if they had years of Perl Scripting experience. So, your profile is the place to put your skills, your achievements and certifications. When I was recruiting for a Cisco Engineer who had to have a CCIE, that was the only keyword I used. So treat the profile exactly as you would a resume.
