LinkedIn is the world’s largest professional network with over 810 million members worldwide and more than 185 million members in the United States. More than 57 million companies have LinkedIn Company Pages. If you are not already on LinkedIn, now is the time to join.
With over 810 million members, you need to ensure your profile is seen and stands out from the crowd. Since most people don’t like to write about themselves, they end up with a profile that reads like a job description, but your LinkedIn profile is so much more. It is your opportunity to engage your audience and build your professional brand. LinkedIn can be an incredible asset to your professional and business development, and your profiles should be uniquely you.
In today’s world, social networking is an essential part of our lives. Career professionals tend to underestimate the effectiveness of being present in social media. LinkedIn demonstrates an important change in how social networking influences people’s professional lives and careers. Today, LinkedIn is an effective tool to form your online individuality and grow your network.
