The bold should tell you that the second sentence is far more important.  Unfortunately, far too many job seekers complain that LinkedIn hasnt worked for them, so they end up failing to put in the proper work/time that building a LinkedIn network requires.

Are you ready to start committing to your LinkedIn network?
