After you set up your profile, the next step is to build connections with coworkers, employers, employees, classmates, and other fellow LinkedIn members. You can invite people to connect with you as well as accept invitations from others. The idea is to create a mutually beneficial network of people with whom you can share job opportunities, career advice, and other items of interest.
