“If you were made redundant tomorrow, which people

would you contact among your existing network? Send

them an email today to renew your relationship.”

Reid Hoffman founder of LinkedIn

Linkedin is ‘the’ business tool I use for making new connections and to access business opportunities.

Linkedin has over 15 million members in the UK – that is 80% of UK professionals.

Many of the FTSE 100, large multinational corporations and most leading recruitment companies have invested heavily in Linkedin as their candidate sourcing database.

It is the pathway to opening up the hidden gems in the job market. In my experience the people who get the best jobs are not necessarily the most qualified - they are usually the most

connected.
