I have been using LinkedIn pretty heavily for the last few weeks. So heavy, that that LinkedIn has locked me out for 12 hours at a time for exceeding whatever limits they have for accessing LinkedIn.
Therefore after looking at thousands of profiles I have to ask this question:
Why do people join LinkedIn?
- Is it to meet people (socially)?
- Is it to find business?
- Is it to market oneself or business?
- Is it to seek new opportunities, be they employment or new ventures?
- Or is it because I need to have a “profile”, it is expected today?
If you have said yes to one or more of the first four choices then I have two questions for you:
- Why don’t you list an e-mail address? You have several choices, your business (that may be transient), your personal or as many people do, a special Social Network/LinkedIn address. In addition, if you are going to list an e-mail address, why not in the opening Summary so people don’t have to go crazy searching?
- If you list an address, does it work? I can’t tell you how many e-mail address are either (unintentionally) mis-formed, or just plain wrong (as in no longer works). Bad addresses don’t meet your need, which is being contacted.
So why don’t you take a few moments to review your profile and adjust it.
