Episode 8 - 
LinkedIn Profile ...going Public (part 2 of Episode 8)
 
CREATING/BUILDING YOUR PROFILE
 
1.  LinkedIn makes it very easy to build your profile.   Your profile is basically a more detailed resume with visuals. These photographs are from my profile and the endorsements (skills section) are from people who I know professionally and personally.  They are helping me build my credibility. The groups section help start the networking for direct email marketing and communications.

a.  As a sole-prioprietorship and an auxiliary staff at Warehouse 21, I am able to define my professional role for building myself networking options for jobs, collaborations, endorsements, etc.  Your public profile URL options are displayed to the right of the screen and you can check the boxes that work best for you:
 

b.  "Skills" are endorsements from other people who know you in your industry, as well as, related industries (markets):


 
c.  The groups at the end of my profile page help me build more direct connections in my industry and any related industries (markets):
 

 
LinkedIn takes time from me to learn how to use effectively to build my credentials and connections, but I believe the time is well spent.  I am able to connect with people who I knew 20 years ago and also strangers who do similar work.  Also, after I did the profile I was able to understand my professional role better and how to improve my career plans. :) Adrienne
