You\u2019re happily employed and not planning on looking for a new job anytime soon. Do you really need to create or keep a LinkedIn profile<\/a> online? The short answer: yes. Here\u2019s why.<\/p>\r\n

Thousands of recruiters and hiring managers use LinkedIn to search out candidates that are a good fit for their positions. A great opportunity for you could be just around the corner if they can find you.<\/p>\r\n

Even if you like your current job, there could be an employer who\u2019s offering something better, an opportunity you\u2019d consider if you knew about it. And in order to stay on the radar of these hiring managers and recruiters, you need to keep your LinkedIn profile updated.<\/p>\r\n

If and when you do decide to look for a job, you\u2019ll have far less work to do when creating your resume. You\u2019ll simply be able to reference your LinkedIn profile as a starting point.<\/p>\r\n
