Make the Most of Your Connections with LinkedIn!

This is where the real power of LinkedIn comes in. While you may have only 100 people in your contact circle, each of those people know other people. These same connections exist in the off- line world. Your friends know people you want to meet, and sooner or later they may get around to introducing you.

With LinkedIn you can accelerate the process by requesting invitations. You can search by skills, type of company, jobs held, geographic regions, and common interests. If you find someone who fits your search criteria, LinkedIn will tell you how you are connected, who you know in common, and you can request an invitation.

LinkedIn will never replace the face-to-face interaction, but it can give your traditional networking an extra buzz.
