Job Search Radio – Using LinkedIn Well with John Fugazzie

That is how you build your professional network.
Who has the largest networks?
By Ashley Peterson, Editor at LinkedIn News
Does networking happen on an even playing field? Early LinkedIn data shows that men on average had substantially more LinkedIn connections than women in 2022 — and added connections at a brisker rate. Black members achieved meaningfully faster network growth than their white counterparts, while Hispanic members were slightly behind the rate for white members, albeit both groups started from a smaller base. LinkedIn Career Expert Andrew McCaskill recommends workers strengthen their networks by connecting with people they know first, being specific with their asks and consistently tending to their relationships.

John R.,
We noticed that you have a large network of 1st degree connections on LinkedIn. We love seeing you grow your community!
As your network grows, please keep in mind that LinkedIn members can have up to 30,000 1st-degree connections.
Once you reach this limit, you won't be able to accept or send new connection requests, but people outside your network can still follow you to receive updates. The number of people who can follow you (and that you can follow!) is unlimited.
As a reminder, we encourage everyone on LinkedIn to:
Helpful Steps to Take
Turn on Creator Mode
If you haven’t already, we suggest you turn on Creator Mode, so those who want to hear from you can easily follow you.
Bonus: when you turn on Creator Mode, anyone who sends you a connection request will automatically follow you, even if you don’t accept their invitation.
Turn on Creator Mode
Manage your network
While you aren’t at the limit yet, this might be a good time to review your current list of connections and remove those who you do not have a personal or professional relationship with. Learn more about how to remove connections.

The Ultimate LinkedIn Checklist
LinkedIn.com is currently the most powerful and important tool connect and be able to properly network with people you will need to build your business and to find a job. Many job search experts say that Networking is the single most important activity to find a job by connecting with hiring managers, recruiters, and a host of other people who can assist you in connecting with people you know or people the know to get your resume in front of the right person. The day of sending resumes to the "black hole" on the internet provide almost no success and a large waste of important time.
Proper Networking is more important than the job leads themselves, as by the time a open job hits the job boards the position is well underway of being filled and has candidates lined up already, people who have been recommended to a company by other executives, internal candidates and candidates provided by trusted recruiters and career professionals.

Making a connection on LinkedIn can open doors to getting and giving career help. Here are our top tips for getting the right connections to help you find a job, get career advice, and guide you on the next steps of your journey.
- Build your LinkedIn community with people you already know and trust. Imagine you’ve moved to a new town for your job, and you’re exploring new friendships and community. Most likely you want to start off with people you already know and trust. The same is true on LinkedIn. Try to connect with 30 folks you already know. You’ll start to see relevant posts in your feed that you can engage with, helpful recommendations on people you might know and groups you might want to connect with and join, and potentially referral opportunities for job openings. A few quality connections can help you kickstart organic growth of your professional community.
- Ask first-degree connections for introductions. If there is someone you want to connect with but you don't know them yet, there is a good chance one of your connections might know them. Use your current network to get a "warm" introduction.
- Choose quality over quantity. Making quality connections of people you know is more important than the sheer volume of connections, because it just takes one person to potentially change the trajectory of your professional journey.
- Click “ignore” when you get an invitation you don’t feel comfortable accepting. This will remove the invitation without accepting it, and the sender won't be notified that you've ignored their invitation, so they may try to connect with you again. If you don't know the person who sent you the invitation, you can also select the “I don't know this person” option that appears after you click Ignore. This will prevent that member from sending you further invitations to connect.
- Control who can send you invitations. You can select who can send you invitations from the Settings & Privacy page. You'll receive a notification each time a LinkedIn member invites you to connect.

The default LinkedIn silhouette pic. On top of looking a bit clueless -- and like someone who lacks the confidence to back their good name with their face -- you’ll miss out on a bunch of profile views if you choose not to upload a photo at all. If you do post a pic of yourself, LinkedIn says people are seven times more likely to click on your profile. So do yourself a solid and just say no to LinkedIn’s creepy two-tone, “male silhouette” default pic.

11 Things You Should Be Doing On LinkedIn But Probably Aren't
With 300 million users and counting, LinkedIn has become the definitive business networking site. If you're just using the site as a place to keep your resume online, however, then you're missing out on some great opportunities. LinkedIn has been rolling out several new features in the past year, including a new publishing platform and a revamped "Who's Viewed Your Profile" function
Here's a look at 11 ways you can make LinkedIn a more valuable tool for keeping in touch with your network and getting recruiters to come to you.
Follow your favorite "Influences" in Pulse.
You may not have been paying attention, but LinkedIn has been churning out original content from thought leaders around the world. The site's Pulse page collects posts from handpicked "Influences" like Richard Branson, Martha Stewart, and Bill Gates.
Share relevant articles with your network, and consider writing your own.
While Facebook and Twitter are great outlets for sharing lighthearted viral content with friends, LinkedIn is the place to share articles and videos relevant to your industry and business in general.
Weed out connections that are no longer useful but continue to build your network.
LinkedIn's developers initially skipped a "block user" feature in an attempt to be a truly open networking site, but they finally gave in to users' demands for one.
Monitor who's seeing your page, and adjust accordingly.
Soon all users will also be able to use the revamped "Who's Viewed Your Profile" feature. Even non-Premium users will be able to see how users are finding them, and what industries these users belong to.
Join groups to improve your visibility.
LinkedIn says that active group users get four times as many profile views as those who don't use this resource. A good place to start is to join your alma mater's official group and see what discussions are going on.
Use the "Relationship" tab to keep track of your contacts.
If you would like to add someone you don't personally know, send them a personalized message explaining why you would like to connect and how sharing your business network can be beneficial.
Endorse and recommend your connections.
Don't forget to make use of endorsements and recommendations. It helps your connections build credibility and makes them more likely to return the favor. LinkedIn is also a perfect place to recommend colleagues with a brief anecdote, as well as ask for recommendations from previous employers.
Tap into the job listings.
There's an easy-to-use job listings tool that's helpful if you are either looking for a job or looking for an employee. All of your searches are kept private, so feel free to browse the listings LinkedIn recommends for you based on information in your profile, search for keywords, and find opportunities within your networks.
Use a professional head shot and a customized URL.
Multiple reports have shown that LinkedIn pages with profile pictures get more views than those that don't. Your photo should be clear, not include other people, and be appropriate for your industry.
Make your page easy to scan.
The worst thing you can do is have your profile be one long list. Recruiters won't bother learning about you if your page is a chore to read. Make sure you distribute your information across each of the sections LinkedIn offers, and arrange them in an order you consider most relevant to your industry and the job you're seeking.
Be sure to write a summary.
Finally, don't neglect the crucial "Summary" box. Think of it as a first impression of your professional profile. It is also the perfect place for keywords that will enhance search engine optimization (SEO) benefits for your page.
