Share Files on LinkedIn

I am a recruiter and spend a lot of my time in searching professionals on LinkedIn. Today while conducting search on LinkedIn I came across a great application Box.net files. I always used to wonder earlier how to make my connections know about the job requirements I was working on in order to get some responses through them. It was impossible to put description in the “What are you working on now?” section due to lack of word limit it has. But, Box.net application solved my problem.

This application allows me to upload number of job descriptions which can be easily downloadable by other parties online. These files are visible on my profile page. This increases the reach of job requirements and it is as good as advertising the requirement. I am not sure about the results I may get through this as it has been only one day I have added this application to my profile but it indeed seems to be a great idea to upload these job descriptions on my LinkedIn profile.

It is easy to upload and share word document, excel sheet, powerpoint presentation, images etc. on box.net files application.

Steps to add Box.net application to the LinkedIn profile:

• After you log on to your LinkedIn profile, click on the option of “Applications” on the left side of the page.

• Click on “Box.net files” followed by “add application”. This will add this application on your home page and profile.

• Clicking on the Box.net will lead you to the following page. You will see an option on the right side “add application”.

• This is how application will look on your LinkedIn profile page. Click on “Menu” to select your options and to upload new files.
• Click on the uploaded file to get more options to be performed as per your requirement. Through this option, files are easily transferred and shared with your selected connections.

What all I have mentioned above is my expereicne of first day using Box.net files. I am sure there would be more which can be explored while using the application.

Try it out and leave your suggestions.
