What is LinkedIn?



  • LinkedIn gives each user the opportunity to build a professional online résumé it gives each user the ability to stay in contact with classmates, colleagues and direct access to job opportunities. 
  • According to Business Insider 31.2% of LinkedIn users are between the ages of 25-34 years old. LinkedIn is the same format of FaceBook except is strictly for business purposes, it's a virtual résumé constantly gives updated. LinkedIn is so popular because top companies such as IBM, HP, Microsoft, Accenture, Google, Oracle, Deloitt, Apple, Dell, Cisco use it to find potenial employees. 
  • Features that I enjoy about Linkedin is the layout, it's not too cluttered and everything is easily accessible and readable. I like the idea of putting your aspirations next to your profile picture because that is the first thing that companies see, along with your professional picture. Lastly, I enjoy the endorsement option, having people endorse your skills and talent's speak volume to your potential employer.
  • While viewing other LinkedIn accounts I noticed that majority of them were the same, following the LinkedIn format, I did stumble across a page and the user had her LSAT scores posted. Another page had a direct link to his most current project. I believe that accounts with a strong paragraph discussing their experience is awesome, nothing to cluttered because it won't be visually appealing.
  • On my LinkedIn my goal is to show that I am well versed in the Broadcasting field, I also want to covey that while excelling in school I am member of various organizations and I'm an advocate for community service. I will show poteinal job opportunites that I am well versed and I am able to juggle mulitple jobs flawlessly.
