@elite.recruiter: Growing your connection count is not networking. It is collecting. Real networking on LinkedIn is about proximity. Getting close to the specific people adjacent to the opportunities you want before you ever need anything from them. So that when you do reach out your name is already familiar. The question that actually matters is not how many connections you have. It is how many people in the right rooms know your name and associate it with something specific and valuable. That is exactly what we build in the LinkedIn Challenge starting October 1st.
