Invitations are how you make connections on LinkedIn. When one LinkedIn member sends an invitation to another person who then accepts the invitation, they become 1st-degree connections. If the ...
Invitations are an essential tool to help you grow your professional network and make meaningful connections. Reach out to people you know or those you want to meet with the help of LinkedIn’s ...
- What’s the best way to invite someone to connect? I always tell people to never send an invitation unless you’re fairly certain it will be accepted. A best practice is reach out to that person elsewhere first (email, phone, real life conversations, Twitter, Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn messages, InMail, group discussions, status updates, etc.)
- How many invitations can I send? You are allotted 3000 invites to send out and you can send out as many as you want per day, but you will be required to enter a Captcha for each invite over 100 sent in a 24-hour period.
- How can I prevent accidentally inviting the same person more than once? If you’ve already invited that person, you will no longer see the regular “Invite John to Connect” screen with the gray box and the radio button list.
- Can I withdraw an invitation once I’ve sent it out? Yes, simply go to Inbox > Sent > Sent Invitations tab to see all of your sent invitations. Click on any invite you want to withdraw to open the message then click the “Withdraw” button.
- Choose the right photo. I’ve written about the key elements of a good Linkedin profile photo before, but for students who don’t have company headshots to fall back on, it’s even more important to ensure that your photo is making the right first impression.
- Create a compelling LinkedIn headline. I’ve been known to compare your LinkedIn headline to your “name badge” at a networking event. You want to attract the right reader (potential employers or recruiters), so it’s crucial to ensure that your headline captures attention.
- Write your LinkedIn About section. Also known as the ‘Summary’ section, the ‘About’ section is often left blank because it’s hard to write about yourself (especially when you don’t have a lot of real-world work experience.)
- Add your work experience. Like a CV, you should list all work experience in chronological order, with the most recent first. The kind of experience you can add to this section includes
- Networking
- Accuracy
- Photography
- Posts
- Pages
- Profile

It’s important to be accurate on LinkedIn. It’s ideal, especially if you want to make a good impression on someone such as an employer, to display honesty and accuracy on your profile and on your posts. This is also a really simple way to earn the trust of the people you connect with, because you will come across as a genuine person. Accuracy is al...
It’s a very good idea to use a professional photograph for your profile picture. This way, people connecting with you can get a sense of your personality. They can see what ‘professional wear’ means to you, and people can identify you easily by looking at your picture (especially useful if they happen to forget your name but want to contact you). I...
LinkedIn is a great way to get across your posts for your professional network to see. You can share a range of posts, including (but not limited to), your academic/personal achievements, extra-curricular activities you have been up to, events you have attended, a newspaper article you found interesting and more. You can even share people’s posts a...

Your profile is an integral part of LinkedIn.

It is highly recomm...
