How To: Get More Out of LinkedIn

I think constantly improving your LinkedIn profile is key.

And people often ask me "how to" and "when to" improve, so here is my response with massive plug for the company I co-founded.

First, there is a lot of good advice on improving your profile, so check it out:

Even LinkedIn has made smart efforts with the Improve Your Profile feature.

But once your picture is perfect and keywords are optimized - how do you give hiring managers more?  How do you increase your chances of good connections?

One way is to add meaningful and new information previously not available via TruYuu.

Join TruYuu and add your TruMee (loud and terrible voice provided by me):




Simple, free way to help you deepen the information on your LinkedIn profile to better reflect all that you bring to the table.

Yes, LinkedIn is only one professional network but they are huge, helpful and growing.  LinkedIn's fairly new apply button shows their role will only increase in the job search game.  Cheering or Fearing?

But no matter how you apply or where you promote yourself, you should give people more - more than keywords, pretty pictures, skills.  Let people see you in all your awesomeness -your values, talents and more in a simple snapshot like your TruMee.

Do you agree that adding deeper insight into LinkedIn profile improves the process for all?


Note: As stated earlier, I am a co-founder of TruYuu.  Please know that I believe adding your TruMee or other validated data on your talents to your profile is the way to go.  It's the future.  So if not TruYuu, consider adding more depth to help you find or stay in a satisfying and productive career.
