LinkedIn – Networking for Professionals
Posted by Meet Me There Events on June 30, 2010
Social networking has gained in popularity and scope over the last decade. With the meteoric rise of websites like Facebook and Twitter, more and more people and businesses are getting involved and opening accounts. Each of these social networking giants each have millions of users that interact and form groups and connect for any number of reasons.
One very well-known and respected social networking site that is more geared towards today’s working professionals is LinkedIn. LinkedIn is, by their own definition, a place where currently over 70 million professionals can go to “exchange information, ideas and opportunities”. It is a great tool for creating and finding professional networking opportunities by taking advantage of your pre-existing relationships with former classmates, co-workers and colleagues.
LinkedIn is free and is a great resource for people. It is especially good if for individuals looking for employment or thinking about a career change or improvement. They can connect directly with someone they know and by extension, with all of their LinkedIn contacts and so on. Recent College graduates definitely utilize LinkedIn as a tool to help them find a job.
This site provides a simple user interface and signup is fast and easy. Users can form groups and can share a wealth of knowledge, tips and advice on all types of useful information.
