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.
