Apple, for example, doesn’t post its most elite and senior jobs.

The further you advance in your career and the more you specialize, the more your profile will be sought and scrutinized by head hunters.

It allows you to keep tabs on your professional network, follow news about them, update them on your career, and connect them to each other. Remember that first and foremost LinkedIn is a social networkfor professionals.Though that might be true for many MBAs, there are a few important reasons it’s still worth your time to maintain your LinkedIn presence. If you are a rising MBA or current student, it will likely seem that on campus recruiting – live networking events – will provide you with all the new connections you might need. Dalton suggests efficient ways to scan professional opportunities and connections to make a job transition easier.īut most of the people I work with know exactly where they want to go – or if they don’t, they soon figure it out! LinkedIn holds unclear value for the already well-connected and well-resourced job seeker, MBA candidate, or MBA student. If you are in such a job search, one framework I love and frequently recommend to my clients is the Two Hour Job Search by the charismatic Steve Dalton. There is no better way to discover and be discovered by people you might one day work with.

LinkedIn facilitates this while still giving you access to thousands of people who might one day become professional colleagues, mentors, friends, and collaborators.Īnyone who has conducted an active job search outside the nurturing environment of campus recruitment understands the power of LinkedIn. Reid Hoffman understood that the best way to make a new connection is to be introduced by a mutual acquaintance. This is what makes LinkedIn truly genius. You can see who each person is connected to, understand how many degrees of separation exist between you and them, and – ideally, if you’re doing it right – find a way to get personally introduced to anyone you would like to meet on LinkedIn. It would be rude if someone ignored you face to face, but the internet permits this kind of dodging, and it’s the social norm.īut that’s OK, because what LinkedIn provides is transparency in the network.

This is because LinkedIn is not a live networking event, where you are free to approach just anyone. Have you ever received a cold email on LinkedIn? Did you just ignore it? Or send a polite: “Thanks for your interest, but I don’t have time”? Those would both be appropriate responses. Most LinkedIn users aren’t interested in being contacted by distant strangers. These are the places where you can come into contact with a large number of new people and decide which of them you’d like to turn into friends.

These are the four primary sources of new connections in adult life. Your sources of new social connections in adult life are effectively limited to four places: If you spend the majority of your life working with the same people, your opportunities for social churn are minimal. To find one person that you want to spend time with, you’ll have to meet at least 10. LinkedIn doesn’t really solve that problem – in that it doesn’t give you shared experience, face time, or schedule autonomy – but it does give you one important thing that makes it worth your time and energy: access to new people.īuilding friendships takes time, consistency, and perseverance. Without the shared experience of college or graduate school, without the large overlapping networks we traffic in as teenagers, and without the luxury of schedule autonomy and extensive free time to devote to budding friendships, building genuine new relationships is infinitely harder. If you consider yourself just barely an adult, you’ll soon understand what I mean.

It’s much more empowering to engage in making genuine connections and nurturing meaningful friendships than to “network.” Friendship makes work more rewarding and enables us to fulfill our full potential. I write a lot about networking, but I call it “ Making Professional Friends.” The word “networking” sets up a transactional paradigm that – let’s face it – feels smarmy.
