LinkedIn is a free online networking service connecting 24 million experienced professionals worldwide. Members create biographies viewable by the internet community that include as many of the following attributes as desired:
background summary and photo
current and past employment experience including company, position, and job description
education including school, degree conferred, years attended, special activities, and recognition
membership in professional groups and associations
honors and awards received
industry affiliation
personal, professional, or business website links
LinkedIn allows members to build their networks by connecting with other members they know through current or past business, school, or personal relationships. Members can further expand their networks by joining one or more corporate, alumni, and/or professional LinkedIn groups and by getting introduced to other members through people they know. LinkedIn also offers paid subscriptions that give premium members tools for finding and reaching people outside of their network.
Benefits of Using this Resource
Networks are an increasingly important part of every professional’s career. LinkedIn helps members build and maintain their network as well as affording them the opportunity to:
find potential clients, service providers, subject matter experts, and partners
post and distribute job listings
find high-quality passive candidates
be found for business opportunities
search for employment opportunities
leverage inside connections that can help you land jobs and close deals
The quality of these opportunities is further validated by the recommendations members provide for others with whom they have a relationship.
Final Thought…
Relationships, not business card networks, are a cornerstone of every successful professional career. LinkedIn is a premier tool for helping experienced professionals stay connected with those in their network, however, it cannot create or maintain relationships. Professionals must personally develop and nurture the relationships within their network. It is through active relationships and quality interactions with others that the full measure of LinkedIn’s benefits can be realized.
For the purposes of personnel resource estimation, what is an individual worth? The answer may seem obvious. A full-time equivalent (FTE) or full-time employee is typically considered to be ‘worth’ 2000 hours of labor per year; calculated as the product of fifty, 40 hour work weeks.
