The result - having a LinkedIn profile can actually increase your chances of landing a job.

According to the study, job seekers with an extensive profile on LinkedIn had a callback rate of 13.5 percent while applicants without any LinkedIn profile had a callback rate of 7.9 percent.

This means those with the resumes that contained a link to the applicant's LinkedIn profile were 71 percent more likely to get called for a job interview than counterparts with "bare-bones" profile.
