Lindsey Pollack’s LinkedIn Profile Advice

August 9, 2009 Posted By: Trevor Wilson Category: LinkedIn


I am a big believer in LinkedIn. So when I read that Lindey Pollack (Author of Getting From College To Career) had posted an article called 5 Steps to a Fantastic LinkedIn Profile, I knew that it needed to be shared.

While the title is self explanatory, it does include some excellent advice that will improve the efficiency of your LinkedIn networking. And she should know. She’s a Campus Spokesperson for LinkedIn itself.

Of each of the five points, there is one that sticks out to me as particularly important:

Share your news frequently.

The best way to stay on other people’s radar screens is to update your status on LinkedIn (the box near the top of your profile) at least once a week. Tell people about events you are attending, major projects you’ve completed, professional books you are reading, successes you are celebrating or any other news that you would tell someone at a networking reception or on a quick catch-up phone call.

This is excellent advice that all job seekers can use, not just those looking for Entry Level Jobs.

I would encourage you to look at all of Lindsey’s advice and to take some time to explore her site. She has a wealth of knowledge to share and is an excellent resource for any New Grad trying to find an Entry Level Job.
