Inside this material

A strong LinkedIn presence is built steadily, long before you need it. This e-learning material treats the platform as part of your career plan, starting with a simple question: what do you want to be known for over the next few years?

From that position, the levels guide you through a profile that supports it, including headline, about section, experience, skills and recommendations. You then move on to growing a network with purpose, commenting and posting in a way that shows your thinking, and using search and company pages to research employers. Later material covers approaching recruiters, asking for introductions and keeping in touch without being pushy.

Each level ends with actions for your own account, so you gradually build a profile, a network and a posting rhythm that fit the direction you want your career to take.
