you are very very welcome. linkedin is definitely a tool that can be used for more then recruiting. I was just recently presented with business opportunities through a few of the linkedin groups that I am a member of. If you're active, people will see you and that will allow you to build connections and relationships.

thanks for reading and commenting janet, hope to hear more from you.

Great post with very practical tips, Jacob, thank you. I knew LinkedIN was going to be a key business tool when I met the guy who headed up Microsoft's east coast recruiting at an event a few years back, and he was a hugely enthusiastic proponent.

It's moved well beyond a recruiting tool, though, as you've noted, into a marketing tool for your own work. Regardless of your profession. I'm inspired to go out there and start answering questions...
