Thought Leader is a person or a business that process innovative ideas and LinkedIn is the Facebook for professionals. Recently, LinkedIn has given us the opportunity to follow great Thought Leaders within the network. For example, if we follow Barack Obama on LinkedIn, we will be able to read his updates right in our LinkedIn home page. LinkedIn currently has a long list of thought leaders and while going through the list, I wondered how to become a thought leader within the network.
While I was about to complete one year at the university as an English Instructor, an IT company came to me with an offer for a new job as a Technical Writer. I did not apply for the opportunity, therefore, I had no idea what Technical Writing is and what they expect from me. So the first thing I did was to consult Sadeepa, the elder brother of one of my batch mates. I remembered him having a Technical Writer as the headline in LinkedIn. Then I did a search for Technical Writers in LinkedIn and tried to get in touch with them to know what the job is really like. Meanwhile, I found some interesting blogs and news articles about the job.
