Online networking has never been easier. Once your profile is complete, you can then join the groups that relate to your profession and perhaps join other groups with members that you'd like to reach - either for business reasons or for general interest. Then you can start posting comments, interesting information, debates, slideshares, polls or links to your blog. Answering questions from other members is an excellent way to establish yourself as an "expert" in your field.
Surveys reveal that the majority of recruiters search LinkedIn's massive database in search of people with skills that match their vacancies. With a well optimised profile, you could have recruiters knocking on your door - even if your not looking to switch job.
You can integrate LinkedIn with your other social media accounts such as your blog or Twitter account, but be careful about linking it to your personal Facebook page. LinkedIn is a "professional" networking site - very different to FaceBook - so your profile should be professional - just like your CV. We recommend that you keep your business and personal personas separate.
LinkedIn works incredibly well for freelancers and businesses as well as job seekers, so if you're a freelancer seeking new clients perhaps, we'd still be happy to help create your LinkedIn profile.

Setting up your LinkedIn Profile
When we create your LinkedIn profile we optimise it so that you'll be found in LinkedIn searches and in general online searches. (Privacy settings are available). We highlight your skills and strengths, just as we would with your CV.
Job Searching on LinkedIn
LinkedIn's advanced search tools will help you identify jobs that you would never otherwise have known about. You can follow companies that you're interested in working for and you can set up your status to let recruiters know that you would like to hear from them. Provided you've got a good profile that is fully optimised and enables you to be found, you should soon find job vacancies landing in your inbox.
