Tips to consider when evaluating your LinkedIn network

June 26, 2011 By Miriam Salpeter

What’s the most important thing to consider when building your network? Size? Quality of connections? Other factors? LinkedIn published a study that said men are better online networkers than women because they tend to have a greater ratio of connections compared to women.

The study did not look into the quality of the connections for the various groups. But when it comes to networking, having a large network isn’t always the key factor to success. Job seekers and others should always take into account the depth and breadth of their contacts in addition to the number of people in their circle. In other words, consider the quality of your connections in addition to quantity.

Watch this short video with tips to help you evaluate your network to be sure it will be ready to work for you when you need it!
