The LinkedIn Answers area gives you the opportunity to show off your expertise. Answer questions related to your field honestly, and without making a sales pitch. I have made several new connections based on giving valuable answers to someone’s questions.

I’d definitely love to connect with other bloggers, freelancers, writers, adn photographers at http://www.linkedin.com/in/kristihines.

LinkedIn was how I could actually verify my new employees and Developers actually worded for Companies and Projects that were on thier resume. It is a real life online-networking/Resume for IT pros. Take it from someone that does the hiring, get your experiance and project details on there!

Hi Chris and Doug!

I’m actually fairly new to LinkedIn myself, having just completed my profile a few weeks ago. What I’ve been told regarding leveraging it to find leads is to join and participate in groups. This will help raise your visibility.

Also, remember that social media participation is a long-term strategy.

I hope this helps. Let me know how it works for you.

Hi Laura,

I started my own LinkedIn account about a month ago. I had also shied away from LinkedIn for a while figuring it was just another fad site like the social media ones. Then I realized that soon my unemployment would end and I’d better start taking advantage of whatever resources were at hand to find a job. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to figure out how to leverage LinkedIn to find jobs. I was hoping your article would help, but there wasn’t any info on this.
