I’ve spent the past 15 years on LinkedIn … as a recruiter, salesperson, consultant, and business owner. I’ve fed my family and built my business almost exclusively through LinkedIn. Many relationships start on LinkedIn. Those that don’t start there wind up on LinkedIn very quickly. I’ve tested and tweaked and tested and tweaked. Lucky for you, you can skip all of that and just take what works from me in this guide.

10 Ways LinkedIn will help you find a job:

1. REFERRALS are still the best & easiest way to get hired … and LinkedIn makes it easy to get referred into a company!
2. 97% of RECRUITERS USE LinkedIn Daily to find talent. Many of them go there first. If they don’t find you there, your chances of getting an interview are almost zero.
3. IT’S WHERE THE HIRING MANAGERS ARE. 74% of B2B decision makers use LinkedIn to help make purchasing decisions. Facebook is the most popular social network on the planet—except with CEOs. Within the 50 largest global companies not one CEO is active on Facebook. (Marketing Insider Group)
4. IT’S WHERE THE HIDDEN JOBS ARE. 72% of employers try to find candidates by referral BEFORE they ever post a job online. They tap their employees, their friends and their connections. LinkedIn is one of the easiest ways to find those jobs, and for people who are looking to find you.
5. COMPANY RESEARCH: Follow your favorite company pages, and you’ll be one of the first to hear about new positions and company updates. Scan their company page, and profiles of people who work there and you can learn a ton about whether or not you want to work there. You can prep for interviews. Many companies share projects, new hires, promotions, and company statistics on their company page … all of which are great for interview prep.
6. RESEARCH INTERVIEWERS, FUTURE BOSS & TEAMMATES: LinkedIn helps you prep for networking conversations and interviews. You can learn about mutual connections, career history, accomplishments, affiliations and even find common ground (same college, same former employers, etc.)
7. INSIDE SCOOP on a company: You can use advanced search to find people you can talk to about the company culture, hiring process and the specific people you are trying to meet … or about to interview with.
8. STAND OUT from your competition. There are several ways to stand out on LinkedIn:
   • With an all-star profile and great storytelling, you can be a real stand out.
   • By sharing some of your achievements, projects, and perhaps even award, you get a chance to stand out.
   • Publish articles, use the “add media” section to showcase some of your greatest skills and accomplishments.
   • Share articles and resources.
9. STAND OUT in your industry as a thought leader. If you’re willing and able to publish original content or videos or other content, your industry will start to notice.
10. HEAR ABOUT JOB & PROJECT LEADS BEFORE ANYONE ELSE. Back to the hidden job market:  When you’re active and well-connected on LinkedIn … and helpful to others, it will come back to you big-time. People will think of you first when they hear about project & job opportunities. And, they’ll actually take the time to tell you about it and introduce you to the decision maker. It’s awesome!
