This week it is about importing your Outlook Contacts to Linkedin.

7/30/12 This week it is about importing your Outlook Contacts to Linkedin.  Go to your L account and enter ADD CONNECTIONS tab. There is a link at the bottom labeled “import your destop contacts”. Click on link and it will ask you what fie you want to upload.  You need to have done this previously so you have those you want imported grouped together.  Then search for “exporting contacts” in the Outlook Help menu.  It will guide you through.  Use the Outlook format “comma-separated values (Windows) and create a logical name.
This will create a .csv file of your contacts.  Go back to L and the “import your destop contacts” link. click into that and chose the .csv file that was created.  Upload the file.
Next week we’ll talk more about how to use these contacts once you have them in place.
