Take advantage of LinkedIn Recommendations.
#UNHCS13
A recommendation is written by a LinkedIn member to endorse a colleague. People interested in hiring or doing business with someone often consider recommendations in making their decisions. It’s like Angie’s list, but it’s all about you!
Use LinkedIn Introductions.
#UNHCS13
It’s a nice way to meet someone new with the backing of another colleague, so it looks more authentic and professional, less spammy when networking.
Join LinkedIn Groups & Follow LinkedIn Company Pages.
