                               Getting Started with LinkedIn

Signing Up
Step 1: Go to http://www.linkedin.com to sign up for a free profile.

Step 2: Once on the main page, you will see a box on the right side with four entry fields.
This is a “quick sign up” for LinkedIn. There is also a “join Today” button on the
navigation bar at the top.

Step 3: Once all information is correctly filled in, confirm by clicking the green “Join
LinkedIn” button. LinkedIn directs you to another page asking basic questions: your
current employer, title and location to help get you started. After filling in each field, click
the blue “Create My Profile” button.

Step 4: LinkedIn should notify that they have sent an email confirmation. After approving
the confirmation, your LinkedIn account is now live. LinkedIn will ask whether a user
wants the basic (free) version or the premium ($24.95) version. At this point, the free
version will probably suit normal users best.

Customizing Your Profile
Step 1: Edit/Create Your Profile
The first step is to find the “Profile” button on the top navigation bar. When hovering over
the “Profile” section, select the option “Edit Profile.” Once clicked, this brings you to the
meat of LinkedIn and their services. Here you can edit your basic information, current
and previous employment history, your pictures and upload your resume. From top to
bottom, the options can be very obvious. The first, your name and current information,
then to the right, is where your photo would go with the option of “add photo” directly
beneath.

Everything beneath the current information is equally valuable to your profile. This is
where you have the ability to add, edit and remove any additional information. Items in
this area consist of: current positions, past positions, education, recommendations,
connections, websites (personal or company), Twitter and a link to your public LinkedIn
profile. All of this information occurs in ascending order, and is below your current
“Title.”

Searching for Connections, Colleagues and Friends
To find colleagues, past and present, or friends, you can use two options: the search bar
in the top right-hand corner of the site, or email search. Both are beneficial to new users
and offer an easy way to find existing relationships with others on LinkedIn. Note:
LinkedIn asks for your relation to any particular connection. As a best practice, refrain
from requesting connections with individuals you do not know.

Step 1: Find Colleagues and Friends From Your Email Address Book
After logging into LinkedIn there will be a blue box that asks for your email and
password. LinkedIn will search your email account for any other LinkedIn members you
may know. LinkedIn will generate a list of potential matches of people you may already
know. A user can select or deselect people and click “send invitations” to make a
connection with the other users.

Step 2: Search for Colleagues and Friends by Name, Job or Company
Search serves as an easy way to find people using a person’s name, job or company. As
users type LinkedIn narrows their search through a live search function to find who the
user may be looking for. Once the individual or company is entered in the search bar,
clicking the magnifying glass will commence the search and find all results that match
the terms.

Step 3: Accept Connections
When a person requests to make a connection on LinkedIn, this is the equivalent to a
friend request. You will receive an email notification as well as your home screen on
LinkedIn. Above your status bar, there is a small area, with two tabs that read:
“messages” and “invitations.” Next to the invitations tab there will be a bright orange
number associated to the amount of connections pending. Once “invitations” is clicked
the box will drop down and show the person(s) who is requesting a connection. From
there a user can approve or deny the connection.

Tips
1. Make sure contact information is readily available.
2. When requesting a new connection, write a personal note in the message field.
3. Update positions, resume and other areas frequently.
4. Participate in LinkedIn groups.
5. Write recommendations for LinkedIn connections and colleagues.

Getting started with LinkedIn

  • 1. SOCIAL MEDIA 101 - LinkedIn   Getting Started with LinkedIn Signing Up Step 1: Go to http://www.linkedin.com to sign up for a free profile. Step 2: Once on the main page, you will see a box on the right side with four entry fields. This is a “quick sign up” for LinkedIn. There is also a “join Today” button on the navigation bar at the top. Step 3: Once all information is correctly filled in, confirm by clicking the green “Join LinkedIn” button. LinkedIn directs you to another page asking basic questions: your current employer, title and location to help get you started. After filling in each field, click the blue “Create My Profile” button. Step 4: LinkedIn should notify that they have sent an email confirmation. After approving the confirmation, your LinkedIn account is now live. LinkedIn will ask whether a user wants the basic (free) version or the premium ($24.95) version. At this point, the free version will probably suit normal users best. Customizing Your Profile Step 1: Edit/Create Your Profile The first step is to find the “Profile” button on the top navigation bar. When hovering over the “Profile” section, select the option “Edit Profile.” Once clicked, this brings you to the meat of LinkedIn and their services. Here you can edit your basic information, current and previous employment history, your pictures and upload your resume. From top to bottom, the options can be very obvious. The first, your name and current information, then to the right, is where your photo would go with the option of “add photo” directly beneath. Everything beneath the current information is equally valuable to your profile. This is where you have the ability to add, edit and remove any additional information. Items in this area consist of: current positions, past positions, education, recommendations, connections, websites (personal or company), Twitter and a link to your public LinkedIn profile. All of this information occurs in ascending order, and is below your current “Title.”   1  
  • 2. SOCIAL MEDIA 101 - LinkedIn   Searching for Connections, Colleagues and Friends To find colleagues, past and present, or friends, you can use two options: the search bar in the top right-hand corner of the site, or email search. Both are beneficial to new users and offer an easy way to find existing relationships with others on LinkedIn. Note: LinkedIn asks for your relation to any particular connection. As a best practice, refrain from requesting connections with individuals you do not know. Step 1: Find Colleagues and Friends From Your Email Address Book After logging into LinkedIn there will be a blue box that asks for your email and password. LinkedIn will search your email account for any other LinkedIn members you may know. LinkedIn will generate a list of potential matches of people you may already know. A user can select or deselect people and click “send invitations” to make a connection with the other users. Step 2: Search for Colleagues and Friends by Name, Job or Company Search serves as an easy way to find people using a person’s name, job or company. As users type LinkedIn narrows their search through a live search function to find who the user may be looking for. Once the individual or company is entered in the search bar, clicking the magnifying glass will commence the search and find all results that match the terms. Step 3: Accept Connections When a person requests to make a connection on LinkedIn, this is the equivalent to a friend request. You will receive an email notification as well as your home screen on LinkedIn. Above your status bar, there is a small area, with two tabs that read: “messages” and “invitations.” Next to the invitations tab there will be a bright orange number associated to the amount of connections pending. Once “invitations” is clicked the box will drop down and show the person(s) who is requesting a connection. From there a user can approve or deny the connection. Tips 1. Make sure contact information is readily available. 2. When requesting a new connection, write a personal note in the message field. 3. Update positions, resume and other areas frequently. 4. Participate in LinkedIn groups. 5. Write recommendations for LinkedIn connections and colleagues.   2
