Hi!
Thank you for sharing. I have the same experience as you. I also just created Linkedln recently and have not focused on developing it. Due to the popularity of social networks, the cost of communication has become very low, and our rich and fresh personal resumes on our personal pages are likely to be paid attention to by employers. Next, I will also establish more connections on linkedln. Anyway,let’s cheer up!

Hi Rajbir,
First of all, I would like to commend you for a job well done for this blog post. Aside from being informative, the contents of your blog are very much relatable. Just like you, I have been in LinkedIn for a year now. I just learned about it through my friends but during the time I created it, I still have not realized the power of online network. Nevertheless, now that I have learned about PLN and digital identity, I was able to edit my LinkedIn account in such a way that recruiters may find me a good candidate.
