What is LinkedIn? LinkedIn is an online network of more than 30 million experienced professionals from around the world, representing 150 industries.
When you join, you create a profile that summarizes your professional accomplishments. Your profile helps you find and be found by former colleagues, clients, and partners. You can add more connections by inviting trusted contacts to join LinkedIn and connect to you.
Your network consists of your connections, your connections’ connections, and the people they know, linking you to thousands of qualified professionals.
Through your network you can:
* Find potential clients, service providers, subject experts, and partners who come recommended
* Be found for business opportunities
* Search for great jobs
* Discover inside connections that can help you land jobs and close deals
* Post and distribute job listings
* Find high-quality passive candidates
* Get introduced to other professionals through the people you know
Your professional relationships are key to your professional success. Their mission is to help you be more effective in your daily work and open doors to opportunities using the professional relationships you already have.
This isn’t networking—it’s what networking should be. Forget exchanging business cards with acquaintances that don’t know your work, or trying to renew professional ties when you need a favor.
LinkedIn has become a professional’s social powerhouse. We are cumulatively getting consistent requests to join other circles. You’d be surprised how many people you don’t know that are one step away from being your ideal candidate to hire, partner with, or collaborate with.
It’s much deeper than Facebook as far as your connections go. They dig deeper into your professional life and dig out what is needed in the business world. Facebook optionally covers that, but LinkedIn is geared more towards the professional but with a hint of personal relationships – you can ‘friend’ somebody that you went to school with for instance.
