Winning at LinkedIn – and why it’s important

Why it’s crucial to improve your presence on LinkedIn – and how to do it

A man applied for a role in a large engineering company and made it through to the final two candidates. He had all the attributes and experience required to excel in the role and a CV that would be the envy of many of his peers. Yet he didn’t get the job – and was astonished to learn the reason why…

When he enquired, he was informed that a proportion of the points scoring system for selection was based on the candidates social media presence. Whilst Chris (let’s call him Chris) was on LinkedIn – his profile completion and activity was way under par compared to his rival – and on that basis he missed out on that crucial job opportunity.
