You’re welcome, Zahra. I wrote the book “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to LinkedIn” and talk a lot about how to improve your profile in the book. Groups are so often overlooked because effective participation takes a lot of time, but if you’re willing to make the effort, it’s well worth it!

It’s so easy to focus on the Jobs board, but groups allow access to those unadvertised jobs. Befriending the right people means they’ll contact you before advertising jobs to anyone else.

When I was active on the group boards, I made some good connections with far more experienced people in my publishing field. Keeping your profile active also shows people that you are still working, and still in demand. It’s easy to find dead social media accounts online, so don’t end up another one of many!

That’s something to work on, and it’ll be easy to contribute quality posts because I’m a writer. I’ve also got to work on keywords and the profile. You’re right that most people probably won’t click the Read More button. Thanks for this article!
