It used to be the case that LinkedIn was just a place to put a copy of your CV online and wait for recruitment agencies to approach you. Whilst that does still happen, today LinkedIn is a platform that offers an online place to network, raise your professional profile and find sales leads.
In addition to building a network, you’ll also want to learn about the additional products and features as part of the LinkedIn family and how best to use them.
