Hi Jonatan
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your blog; it is very interested for what people should know about LinkedIn, especially for student like us. I can see that LinkedIn has the potential to be extremely helpful and people are outraged that LinkedIn is opening the doors to us to choose a career and begin a resume. Having a LinkedIn profile is always a good way to boost professional credentials.
Aside from job searching, endorsing colleagues, joining interactive groups and contributing to posts, the professional social networking site has evolved into much more. LinkedIn has become a term that many well-seasoned professionals use while networking.
We can hope that we can take advantage of this to pursue college ambitions and not get too ahead of ourselves.
I really like your post. It’s very informative and explanatory. I like how you compare Linkedin with other social networks but with different purposes. We learn Linkedin is a way to connect people in professional occupations. It strengthens and extends our existing network of trusted contacts. It helps to build our professional identify online and stay in touch with colleagues and classmates. In addition, we can use it as a tool to discover professional opportunities, business deals and new ventures.
