Recently my mom asked me “whats this linked In thing??” While at a function for work she was talking to a collegue of her’s who wondered if she was linked In. My mom is definitely not the first person you would go to if you wanted to know what is new with the internet. Unfortunately there are many people like her out there who dont know much about LinkedIn.
Linked In helps people all over the world get and stay connected to others doing things just like them. With Linked In professionals can:
- link you with qualified professionals and experts
- connect with people you know as well as people they know
- gain new insight from discussions with like minded professionals in private group settings
- post and distribute job listings to find the best talent for your business
In times like these when employment becomes scarse, Linked In is the answer to our success. This site has the power to bring us closer to the people we know and the things we love to do.
One Response to “Make the most of your network…get LinkedIn.”
I agree completely with this site being such a good resource during scarce employment. its a really easy way to get started with the job search and also make yourself known. there are going to be some very difficult times ahead in finding jobs out of school, and LinkedIn is a good start to making yourself known and available for employment.
