Are you on LinkedIn? You’re proudly nodding your head in agreement, but there’s absolutely no use in being on the business networking platform at all if you’re not making the most of it.
You’re probably thinking that you’re two steps ahead of those colleagues who simply aren't on the site and one step ahead of those who are but don't see the value in it. Unless you have all-star status, you aren't fully leveraging the site to gain the attention of its estimated 450+ million members. Before diving into the ultimate LinkedIn Cheat Sheet Infographic below, let's address some key findings to highlight the power of LinkedIn's network.
