While not all C-suite executives read their LinkedIn newsfeed, the number who do continues to grow and reading the newsfeed is nicely habit forming. It’s catnip for recruiters, of course, as we use it as a means to stay in touch with our contacts via likes, comments and reshares.

LinkedIn’s newsfeed presents an easy and fun way to supplement in-person networking and boost awareness of you well beyond your own legal department. Done well, it’s an opportunity to create an online professional persona and build your reputation.
