LinkedIn

LinkedIn is a social networking site that differs from Facebook and MySpace. It’s specifically used for professionals and businesses. All this website is, is you create an online profile that describes your expertise, your past jobs, and your work experience. LinkedIn has the largest network for professionals; some people actually used this site as their resume. Once on LinkedIn, you can add friends called connections. LinkedIn was made in 2002, and since then thousands of people have joined this website. If you’re a job searcher, you have the ability to look for jobs recommended by your contact network. Also, if you’re looking to hire employees, you can look at their profiles and start a connection with them. You can use this website for many things, even forming a partnership for a new business. There are approximately 8.5 million experienced professionals from all around the world that use LinkedIn. Our economy today is at a low point and LinkedIn can potentially boost job employment. However, this website can be abused. People can make fake profiles where job employers can look at and consider hiring that person. LinkedIn isn’t used for you to make connections with people; it is used to help you to be more productive. This site (if used correctly) puts you on the right path to get a job and be successful. Many account users use LinkedIn for questions they are curious about. Sometimes, even job employers use LinkedIn looking for small tasks that you can get paid for. Your connections on your profile can also answer questions you post. It is almost like a forum when people ask for questions because within days, they can give you accurate information on what you’re looking for. In my opinion, LinkedIn is much more productive than Facebook and MySpace. It can really help out future goals of yours, and potentially get you a lot of money. This site is used for multiple things, but isn’t really used for entertainment or recreational purposes. You connect with many people so this website is considered a social networking website. Everyone looking for help, or looking for a job should use LinkedIn, it’s a very productive website that is growing everyday.
