When I logged into LinkedIn a few minutes ago, I saw an announcement for a great job opportunity. Last night I read an article about LinkedIn "Fire Up Your Career!" in the April 12 issue of FORTUNE. Yesterday morning, I watched the youtube video "Using Social Media for your Job Search" presentation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVlUwwgOfKw&feature=channel
Why am I so interested in LinkedIn? And, why do I think you should be interested in LinkedIn? Just a few things to think about:
LinkedIn is a professional social networking site, designed to facilitate networking among business people. This network is populated with experts in their fields. Members post questions to receive well thought out answers from knowledgeable people. LinkedIn is a great tool to connect with previous coworkers, supervisors, classmates you may have lost touch with. Joining groups links you to people and resources you can learn from and stay current in your field. Employers post jobs. Recruiters use LinkedIn to find top notch candidates.
FORTUNE said LinkedIn has profiles of more than 60 million members. 60 million members building professional connections. What are you waiting for? Check it out!
