• Adding skills makes you more searchable, but make sure these skills are recognized by LinkedIn (appear in the dropdown menu when you type it in the box)
• Avoid the urge to list skills just to make your profile appear more marketable or impressive. These skills may raise more questions than interest

• It is important to have recommendations on your profile
• These recommendations should not be generic
  • The person writing should be able to speak to your abilities and should know you personally

• The site makes it easy to update your community about accomplishments in your professional life
• Suggestions for keeping active on LinkedIn include:
  • Commenting on a post
  • Posting a picture from a work-related event or conference
  • Publishing posts
• Make it a goal to update something on LinkedIn once per week
