If you rated LinkedIn as the most efficient networking platform, then you are just like me. Nevertheless, we are all imperfect when it comes to utilizing this resource to its full potential, and that’s exactly why for the month of January, we are spotlighting the LinkedIn Guide by the LinkedIn Guys, your group of masterminds who have created a sort of “scavenger hunt” to help you master LinkedIn.

Who are the LinkedIn Guys?
The LinkedIn Guys are former LinkedIn employees who joined forces to create a complete, step-by-step online course to mastering LinkedIn. The website contains a full package of lessons on how to attract recruiters, engage alumni, and maneuver through the newest LinkedIn update. Here are some examples of the course outline:
-
- Job search checklist
- How to prepare interview on Linkedin
- Alumni connection checklist
- Get found by recruiters: Keywords
- Evaluate offers on Linkedin
- Advanced Hack: Find Hiring managers looking to hire right now
And so much more…
Doesn’t that sound like a holy grail? Plus, since Brandeis International Business School has a partnership with them, we gain access to exclusive resources as well for free!

One more thing…
Linkedin has so many features that are usually under-discovered because we don’t pay close attention to them. After learning more about LinkedIn from the LinkedIn Guys, my new favorite features have been:
-
- Search engine as a way to connect with alumni across the globe
- Linkedin learning certification program which provides you with courses to showcase your skills
- Linkedin forum page where you receive news and posts from employers and job seekers
