History and scholarship

Granovetter (1973; 1974) showed weak ties carry job information; Burt (1992) and Lin (2001) followed; Goffman (1959) informs profile research; boyd and Ellison (2007) defined SNS; Rajkumar et al. (2022, Science) found moderately weak LinkedIn ties most helpful for job mobility.

Key points

Photo, headline, About, experience, skills and project links; put target role in the headline. Laws, programmes, visa rules and hiring practice change; check official notices, current law and actual postings.

In practice

Useful for foreign firms, startups and overseas jobs; keep coffee-chat requests short.

FAQ

Needed as a new grad?: Optional but can help.
Korean or English?: Match target employers.
