N is for… Notifications

You can automatically get notifications on your LinkedIn for the important stuff.  The notifications will keep you updated and will alert you when someone likes what you’ve shared on LinkedIn, invites you to connect or accepts your invitation as well as receiving notifications of birthdays work anniversaries and endorsements.

A red circle appears when you have something new. Notifications can be useful in helping you to continue to connect, network and reach out to existing connections.
