LinkedIn is the world’s largest professional network with over 40 million members and growing rapidly. LinkedIn is a business-oriented social network dedicated to helping professionals maintain a list of connections. These connections can then be used to find a job, find out more about potential employers, and fill your own job vacancies through the social network. LinkedIn connects you to your trusted contacts and helps you exchange knowledge, ideas, and opportunities with a broader network of professionals.
LinkedIn - which is free for users who want to post their virtual resumes; invite in colleagues, friends and acquaintances; and join online groups such as alumni associations and professional associations -- has 40 million users. Over the next few months I will be developing a LinkedIn site for my employer and will test how well it does in attracting interested applicants.
Networking is the most valuable tool for job seekers, their most recent survey said, followed by social/professional networking sites, such as Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn.
