“Best results are often achieved well before you need a job, by consistently networking so that when you fi nd yourself job-hunting you have a large network to work with.”

ERIK QUALMAN -

How many times have you gone to an event, collected a handful of business cards and never did

anything with them?

The beauty of LinkedIn is that you can now capitalize on these encounters and connect with the

professional people you meet via LinkedIn. Yes, you may not need their services or network now, though I bet sometime in the future it may be handy to reach out to them. By connecting with them on LinkedIn

when you meet them, it keeps the door open for the future!

Quick Tip: When you reach out to someone on LinkedIn, add a personal note of where you met them and any other bits of information to make your connection a little more personal. Also, when someone connects with you – Thank them!!

LINKEDIN – GOOGLE RANKING
