Professional Networks: An Online Mixer
Thursday, October 22, 2009 at 3:22PM With graduation right around the corner, I figured there was no better time to get LinkedIn. LinkedIn is a network of your professional contacts - a marketing platform for you and your career.
When you join, you create a profile that summarizes your professional expertise and accomplishments. You can then form enduring connections by inviting trusted contacts to join LinkedIn and connect to you.
Since Tuesday, I have made 33 connections, linking me to over 150K professionals. These days it's not just what you know, but also who you know... and who know's you're looking for a job... and who would recommend you for that job...
It's it too far-fetched to think that my dream job is searching as hard for me as I am for it? Oh I think not! And LinkedIn is going to help make it happen.
