Similar to other online social networks, LinkedIn provides content tailored to you. The more informa/on you share with LinkedIn, the more precise the topics are for you

CONNECTING WITH OTHERS

One of the ways that LinkedIn offers you tailored content is by knowing who you are connected to. Linked in offers to look for people /ed to your email address to find possible connec/ons

In order for LinkedIn to check your email contacts you need to allow them to do it

You will then be presented with some contacts already on LinkedIn for you to add if you wish. Note, they must agree to have you add them for them to be a connec/on
