In business there are various things that can help you get promoted, a new position, or a completely new job. In order to achieve these different jobs and positions you must have networking skills and be qualified. One way you can network is by the social media sight LinkedIn.
First off what is LinkedIn? LinkedIn is basically a less fancy FaceBook for business people.  It is a place where you can post different jobs you have held, strengths you have, references and you have people post recommendations about you. You can also look for jobs in your area and the world.
The reason this is beneficial is because if a company is looking for a new person they can search people on LinkedIn who have the qualities and they can reach out to them. I have personally had companies reach out to me and ask if I would be interested in working for them.
LinkedIn is a great networking tool that can absolutely help you in your professional career. It can help you get jobs, promotions and new positions in a company.

  1. I agree that linkedln is a great way for you to give information about yourself to companies and it is a great way for companies to gain information about you. Only problem is that I have with this is that my life in particular does not revolve around technology. I don't even check facebook but once a week.

  2. I think LinkedIn sounds like a good resource that many businesses could use when looking for employees. It would then be able to show strengths that would set certain employees apart from those who have many different strengths and weaknesses. This is also a place of where you can get yourself out to the world and allow people to see who you are and what you are good at.

  3. I agree that LinkedIn is a great way to contact and gain information from it, but i am still wandering are there have anything you couldn't find. Because of everyone can sand information on their web side, but if they use it for make money from it and cheat people. How do we know which one is the truth?
