LinkedIn is all about you!• Your profile is tailored to your professional brand instead of to a company• Include broader experiences, projects, skills, and interests in a variety of formats

Turn off “Notify your network” when making many small changes

Don’t mark a connection request as “I Don’t Know” unless they are negatively impacting you• After too many IDK’s, LinkedIn will ban them from the network

GROUPS/PUBLISH
