Leverage the Power and Reach of Your LinkedIn Profile for Executive Advancement

LinkedIn Images blog picJust as few businesses had websites at the dawning of the Internet age, few executives were savvy about LinkedIn when THE social media site for business took to the Web. This was in the spring of 2003, and just 4500 members had signed-up at that point to promulgate their skills and expertise to other companies and recruiters. Now of course, all businesses have websites and work hard to keep their digital presence updated.

In the same way, most connected men and women know the reach and value of LinkedIn, which is why the membership on the site has grown to a whopping 300 million in early 2014. That’s a tremendous amount of growth – and 600 million eyes scouring the site, looking for executives and professionals with skills and acumen needed to help take their companies to the next level of success and development.

The question then is simple – is your LinkedIn profile all it should be to get the attention you deserve for your years of hard work and experience?

Here are a few specific questions to ponder:

  • Does your LinkedIn profile convey your professional personality and accomplishments?
  • Do you have appropriate recommendations on LinkedIn from your peers and past business associates?
  • Have you optimized your LinkedIn profile so that your future employer can find you and bring you on board?
  • Are there skillsets or aspects of your career that are missing from your LinkedIn career biography?

Chances are, you aren’t making full use of LinkedIn based on these questions.

It’s exactly why Chameleon Resumes offers LinkedIn expertise and professional LinkedIn development ideas so that you can leverage this outstanding networking powerhouse 24/7 for the future of your career.

Lisa Rangel, managing director of Chameleon Resumes, specializes in assisting executives and other professionals in harnessing the power of LinkedIn for job searches, networking and career branding.
