Did you know there was a LinkedIn directory where you can look yourself up? When I discovered this little factoid recently, I was on L Page 1463 and now am on L page 1469. Why? Because every second, 2 people join LinkedIn.

If you want to see what page you are on, here is the link – https://www.linkedin.com/directory/people-a

If you want to keep tabs on what is going on on LinkedIn, check out their blog at https://blog.linkedin.com/. You can subscribe by clicking in the bottom right hand corner of the page. You can further customize by topic of interest at https://blog.linkedin.com/topics.

A couple articles with a lot of Linkedin statistics and facts I recently came across is from Kinsta and is worth a read – click here and other from Omnicore is here.

Do not neglect managing your career and your career documents, including your LinkedIn profile, from the beginning of your career onward and make networking a habit. A simple start would be with a Bronze membership.
