Actively manage your identity: Make sure your LinkedIn profile is up-to-date and don't forget a profile photo! Adding a professional photo makes you 14 times more likely to be found on LinkedIn.
Share your work: Whether via photos, videos or SlideShare presentations, share examples of your work on your profile to help showcase your skills.
Nurture your network: Our Power Profiles aren't just the most-connected in India, but they also give back to the community in various ways. Some actively publish on LinkedIn, others share compelling articles, focus on skilled volunteer work, or invest time in mentoring students. Find your passion and go for it.
