If you are seeking work or trying to re-invent yourself in
this present economy you need LinkedIn. LinkedIn is a valuable online tool for
networking. It’s one of the biggest and fastest growing means by which
recruiters and employers are seeking out new employees today. LinkedIn has
become the world’s largest professional network on the Internet with more than
150 million members in over 200 countries and territories. Are you LinkedIn? If
you aren’t, you need to be.
Don’t Miss Out
I was struggling in my own job search before I found LinkedIn.
The success that I’ve had using LinkedIn spawned this series of articles to
spread the word to other job seekers. LinkedIn is not a social meeting place,
but instead is a business oriented hub for business networking. Businesses,
employers and recruiters are more likely to be interacting with other
professionals on LinkedIn making it a more credible tool for a job seeker
trying to market him/herself.
