How To Use LinkedIn Q&A in Your Job Search

Posted by: Simon    Tags:  business networking, jobhunting, linkedin, networking    Posted date:  August 21, 2009  |  No comment

LinkedIn Questions & Answers is a valuable source of business wisdom; chances are that somebody has faced a similar opportunity or challenge before, so why not use their experience to your advantage? The other great aspect of Linked Q&A is it’s an awesome platform to use in your job search.

In the JobGuerrilla Report, I show you how using LinkedIn Q&A is a great lever to stimulate and build business relationships with potential employers and their network. LinkedIn Q&A is an ideal tool for demonstrating how you apply knowledge to business opportunities and problems, so it’s little wonder that people are using it to connect and work together.

The best thing about LinkedIn Q&A is that it is a fantastic platform for showcasing your knowledge to people YOU have chosen as potential employers, and your efforts are rewarded with new connections and even recognition if your answer is the best returned. It’s an awesome feeling when you’re awarded a ‘Best Answer’, and it’s also something that employers will notice when they view your profile. I know of some people who also mention this on the resume! Social Networking really is changing how we approach business and employment.

Here is a great video on YouTube which shows you how to use LinkedIn Q&A effectively to build relationships and add to your network.
