No matter what industry you are in, you should be using Linkedin, which is the best professional social networking sight out there today. With Linkedin, you are able to connect with other professionals that you meet through networking, somebody you knew in the past, or network with your colleagues. With Linkedin, you can upload your resume, so that it will show your prior experience and other qualifications, which will help you if you are connected to a prospect of yours. You want to show the world that you are qualified to do your job and that you are the right person to talk to in your industry.
I have heard that 70% of jobs are found through networking, and using a site like Linkedin is the ultimate form of online networking. With Linkedin, you can see connections that are common to your current connections, or search for somebody that you knew either through business or from your personal life. If 70% of jobs are found through networking, wouldn't you want to make sure that you are keeping in touch with highly qualified people that you could possibly employ rather than leave it up to advertising a job opening? There are so many benefits of joining a site like Linkedin, and this post is an introduction to this social networking site. There will be many more posts coming up soon with some more specific benefits of using Linkedin.
