Review - LinkedIn


Today I checked out the business networking site called LinkedIn. To be honest, the last thing I really want is yet another Social Networking site – at least that is what I thought until I found LinkedIn. The site isn’t just about chatting with friends; it’s about make professional business connections. It can help you to network with your business associates and learn about connections that they have that you might not have known about before. That can be helpful because you may find job opportunities or potential business partners available that you didn’t know about before. I recommend completing a full profile so people can learn more about your experience and qualifications, then checking out the jobs section.

The first thing I checked into was the Jobs Home page. I have to say, I was a little impressed. I found several jobs that are relevant to my work experience listed automatically. The first to jobs listed where positions I was already aware of, but the convenience of the postings seems really practical. LinkedIn also allows you to save jobs and to follow companies that interest you. This can be really important in a field where key positions my only open up once every couple of year. All in all, I think this site has phenomenal potential for business networking, and I highly recommend people check it out. In fact, I’m having my husband sign up tonight!
