LinkedIn features you should start using
LinkedIn is one of the biggest social media sites for professionals. If you want to reconnect with old coworkers or find new jobs, it’s the place to be. Users love its many features, especially the profile page you can use to brag about your accomplishments.
There are a few tips and tricks you might have no idea about. Here are five features you can start using to your advantage today.
1. Use Sales Navigator to reach more people
This is a must-have tool for all of your outreach needs. Many of us struggle to find new clients and connect with big players in our industry. If you’re dealing with outdated information and need a leg up, check out LinkedIn Sales Navigator.
It lets you find new opportunities and even strengthen your existing customer relationships. Its powerful advanced search capabilities let you find exactly what you want. You can use filters like industry, geography, customer size and more.
Try this next trick if you want to keep it simple and attract people to you.
2. Save searches and get notified when there are updates
Speaking of filters, here’s an easy way to find good job prospects. You connect with the right people through LinkedIn’s saved searches and job alerts. If you want to keep track of your findings, save the search.
This way, even if you have a lot on your plate and get distracted by other tasks, you can pick up your search later. You can also get notifications whenever there’s an update in your search parameters. Here’s how.
Say you found someone through the People tab or Jobs tab. On the right-hand side of the search page, press Create search alert. Then, save your preferences by hitting Save. Just like that, you saved your search and will get helpful notifications in the future.
