"The LinkedIn Experiment"

Calling all monkeys

Are there any primates out there looking to optimize their LinkedIn profile? If so, you're in luck. For the next 4 weeks I will be working with a LinkedIn consultant who specializes in profile optimization for those in finance. How does this benefit you? In conjunction with the LinkedIn consultant I will be conducting, "The LinkedIn Experiment". "The LinkedIn Experiment" will be an analytics project showing the numbers behind an optimized profile (increase in profile views, search rank, etc.). We will then provide a follow up blog series detailing the different aspects of LinkedIn optimization; including the following how-to-sections:

1) Increase your search rank on Google and LinkedIn
2) Increase your network and connections
3) Help you land a job through a recruiter

So how can you help? Send us your questions (email address below) as we will tailor the experiment based on the interests of the WSO community. Questions may pertain to anything including:

1) Industry of interest (investment banking, private equity, venture capital, etc)
2) Keywords
3) Profile functions
4) Networking know how
