Enhance & Leverage Your LinkedIn Profile

    When LinkedIn opened up its API (Application Programming Interface) last year, it really opened up some nifty new possibilities for those wishing to take advantage of cool new tools and enhancements brought forth by the software development community.
    One application that has some very good potential to help those in transition is Box.net. This application allows you to create folders and place files into your LinkedIn profile.
    You can also share files with any of your first degree connections if you choose to do so. This means you can post additional enhanced detail summarizing your work as a document (pdf, doc, xls, ppt - take your pick). This might be another cool way to add a resume with just a custom email address, city and state listed for contact information.
    Add Box.net to your LinkedIn account by clicking here and don't forget to enable the check boxes to:
  • Display on my profile
  • Display on LinkedIn homepage
