Despite a reputation of being the commercial sector’s professional networking site and other social networks targeted directly at the academy, there continues to be advice on-line that academics should make the most of having a profile on LinkedIn.

- Boost your discoverability with the help of your network
- Land at least one recommendation
- Let others know you’re here and ready to dance
- Boost the signals and cut the noise from LinkedIn notifications
