Different members on LinkedIn have joined LinkedIn for different reasons. Whatever your reasons maybe having a larger network can help you better with achieving your goal(s).

Many members have different views on the issue of Quality vs. Quantity.

I say “Why not both, if you can!”

Notes: In the searches listed previously …. I have grouped several countries for searching in the Middle

East.

I have added other locations to my current location to find out my ranking in the other locations.

I have placed “SAP” in the title field to search for SAP professionals rather than placing it in the keyword field to getter a better search result.

I have shortened the links as they are very long so they may be remembered easily using www.Ez.com
