Learning Center / Linking with LinkedIn®

Curious about why would you need a VisualCV and a LinkedIn profile?

You can use your public VisualCV's URL just about anywhere to enhance your presence in online communities. LinkedIn is a great example of this. LinkedIn is great for networking, searching for experts, and keeping in touch or reconnecting with colleagues, friends, and classmates, but it doesn't offer you the multimedia capabilities of a VisualCV. With a VisualCV, you can present more of your work and your personality. Having a VisualCV and a LinkedIn profile allows your LinkedIn contacts to learn much more about your skills and capabilities. If they are interested in learning more, why not let them?

We think VisualCV and LinkedIn go together like peanut butter and jelly, spaghetti and meatballs, coffee and doughnuts...you get the idea. Use them together to get the most out of your professional networking.

It's incredibly easy to add your VisualCV URL to your LinkedIn profile. You can put your URL in one (or all) of these sections so that anyone that finds you on LinkedIn can know more about you and your unique capabilities.

Anyone looking at your profile quickly sees that you want everyone to learn about you by checking out your VisualCV.

Once you've given an overview in your summary, interested readers can click to learn more. Or, just include the link if you prefer people learn more about you from your VisualCV.

Just add your VisualCV URL to the Websites section to let anyone viewing your profile click to get more information on you as a professional. Make sure you select 'Other' in the drop-down menu so you can rename the URL (see video for more details).

Don't forget: set your VisualCV Privacy Setting to "Internet" before placing your VisualCV URL in LinkedIn.

Anyone who views your VisualCV can contact you or share a VisualCV with you. However, if they also want to connect to you on LinkedIn, you can simply add your LinkedIn information to your VisualCV. With a click of a button, they can visit your profile at LinkedIn and make a connection.
