Don’t underestimate the power of LinkedIn in 2019

It’s a new year, so you may be looking for a new job, connection or sales prospect. Focus on LinkedIn with these tips:

• Review and optimize your profile with a professional headshot and cover photo, as well as your most up-to-date contact information.

• Don’t forget about the dreaded “summary” section.

• Ask for and reciprocate recommendations, whether it’s a colleague or company you’ve worked with previously.

• Share relevant and insightful content from your industry, employer or personal blog.

• Join groups related to your industry.

• Become a pro using the free search tools.

• Join conversations and interact with your network.
