it will show up in your >meline
SHARING CONTENT
▪ LinkedIn now sends out an email when one your connec>ons appears in the news ▪ This is a great way to
keep in touch with colleagues – and share content
SHARING CONTENT
• Go to LinkedIn.com, click on "Profile" on the taskbar at the top of the page
• Look just below your photo and headline for the prompt to "Add a selec>on to your profile”
• Click on "View More" and several items which you can add to your profile appear.
• On the bobom right hand side you'll see "posts" -‐ this is the blogging feature
BLOGGING ON LINKEDIN

you may want to work.

message to express your interest in connec>ng – and why ▪ 59% of recruiters rated talent sourced from social media as
“highest quality” ▪ Job seekers, by a wide margin, prefer Facebook, with 83% repor>ng
