Years ago, you could put your head down, work hard and expect to be promoted. You chose a company and, with some luck, could stay there and make a career out of it.

In the modern world, you need to actively work on your career and keep making relevant connections, or you may be passed up for opportunities or find that you are out of touch with the pace of the market.

As an executive or attorney, you already know that LinkedIn can be a powerful addition to your career development.

In fact, LinkedIn is simply the most powerful online tool for job search and career building today, offering an unprecedented means to make the right connections and create professional opportunities.

Learning to leverage the platform is one of the best investments you can make in your career. Yet you may have many questions about how to deploy LinkedIn to your best advantage.
