LinkedIn For Dummies

This is an excellent guide packed with information about LinkedIn. To the newcomer, LinkedIn is not the most user friendly service and many of the features and options don't readily explain themselves. This guide offers an overview of what the service is, why it was created and how it differs from Facebook and other social media. It offers step by step guides for many functions, but this is not a struck "how to use" book. It deftly balances wonderful tips, creative solutions and suggestions for how to make LinkedIn work for you. It covers all the major functions including joining (signing up on your own vs an invitation), how to create and optimize your profile, find connections, manage your networks, free vs paid accounts, recruiting, job seeking and much more. I found the section on Endorsements vs Recommendations very helpful. I had heard of LinkedIn and hadn't given it much thought, but now I've found it to be a wonderful tool to connect with others professionally. I highly recommend this book whether you are a newbie, current member or just want to know more, there is something for everyone.

Although I have not gotten all the way through all the chapters, the material presented covers anything I need to know about LinkedIn. Nicely written, clear and concise with good advice and instructions.

An excellent resource for successfully using Linkedin. This book contains helpful explanations and many informative suggestions that were not considered by this reviewer or even aware of their existence.

A snoozer but important.

This is an easy to read, concise and helpful book on using LinkedIn. Highly recommend it anyone who uses LinkedIn or new user. Must read.

Really helped me revise and add to my home page. Then answered questions as I wanted to go deeper into other LinkedIn applications.

Easy to read. A good place to start. Wish I had read it before trying to use LinkedIn.
