LinkedIn: How to Build Relationships and Get Job Offers Using LinkedIn: A No BS Guide to LinkedIn

by Robbie Abed

LinkedIn is one of the most misunderstood and powerful social platforms on the internet. I'm going to show you how to use LinkedIn to build relationships with executives and get job offers without having to fill out a job application. We all know that the hiring system is broken. Human Resources and Recruiters are the bottlenecks for job-seekers who only want to talk to one The hiring manager. The hiring manager has one goal and one goal To hire the best candidate as soon as possible. But, there's a small problem. Hiring isn't easy. Companies don't know if they're hiring the next Steve Jobs or someone who is going to quit within three months of joining the company. However, there is one thing that all businesses, big or small, all agree on. The best candidates come from referrals from their employees. Candidates who get referred from an employee are not only faster and cheaper to hire; they stay longer and have proven to be more successful in their career in the long term. 44% of Deloitte's experienced hires are from referrals. 44%! I have no sympathy for someone who says, "I applied for hundreds of jobs online, and I didn't get a single response!" Uh, yeah. Applying for a job online is the worst way to ask for a job. It's you versus the black hole. And the black hole never loses. So, The million dollar question is, "How do you get referrals if you don't have a big professional network?" Enter Robbie and his latest book, "How to Build Relationships and Get Job Offers Using LinkedIn." I owe a big portion of my career success to LinkedIn. LinkedIn gave me the ability to build connections that have enabled me to grow my career exponentially. In addition to helping me form amazing relationships, LinkedIn helped me build an amazing platform for myself. + My articles have accumulated over 3 million views with four posts over 400,000 views. + In 2014, LinkedIn chose one of my articles as one of the best posts on the platform. + LinkedIn featured me in a video to help promote their LinkedIn Publishing platform. + I've gained over 30,000 followers, just from 20 articles. + I gained 10,000 email subscribers in 3 months. I'm going to change how you use LinkedIn, and I'm going to give you the tactics to dramatically increase your chances of getting an offer from your target companies. If it worked for me, it could work for you. Last but not least, I write the way I talk. If you like this description, there is a good chance you will like the book. If you hate the way I write, then you're not going to like to hear what I have to say. This book is not an extensive guide to every aspect of LinkedIn. If you're looking for a more thorough walkthrough of all LinkedIn features, there are plenty of other great LinkedIn books on Amazon. If you're looking to build relationships, get noticed, and get job offers, then this book is for you!

Concise and Targeted Information for Busy Professionals

I've been following Robbie for a number of years now and this book is a another example of his *excellent* content on LinkedIn and elsewhere.

What you will find in this book is concise, cogent, and actionable information on how to grow your network, improve your professional presence, and keep in touch with *all* of your followers.

Robbie delivers this information in a great conversational tone - like a good friend giving you a leg up, which, at the end of the day is exactly what he does here.

I cannot recommend this book enough and I'm excited and eager to implement what I've learned!

This might be the worst topical book I have read in my life, and I read Mein Kampf in college. This book was a 12-minute read. I even re-read it within the same hour to make sure that I didn't accidentally skip something. The advice is incredibly shallow, leading me to believe that the positive reviewers I see on here must have had some relationship with the author.

I'm still a little new to this community, but will definitely participate more.

THANK YOU for everyone that reviews it on Goodreads and I would be honored to see your review!

The author gives you good advice about how to boost your LinkedIn, and build relationship with necessary people to land your dream job. I gave it 4 stars as these advice mostly work for experienced workers, and they are only the tips of the iceberg, which means that the author didn’t discuss them in as great details as I expected.

Very good read

This for me was more of a "why to" than "how to" book, which is an important distinction. I found that I leverage LinkedIn a platform instead of social media site. I've come away with a lot to chew in. Thanks Robbie!

Overall, there are several good tips in this book. It is also a super fast read. Robbie Abed's core message be interesting and consistent. There were some formatting and grammatical quirks in the book with distracted me a little.

Good tips

This is the first book I read regarding the topic. So, I don't have anything to compare it to. But it did provide me with great insight.
