Linkedin, Are You In?

 Founded December 28, 2002, LinkedIn has become the world's largest professional networking platform. LinkedIn is a professional networking site, which offers a business and employment-oriented service. LinkedIn currently serve over 530 million members.

It is used by professionals who are seeking a job or an internship. This site also allows companies to post available positions within their company. With LinkedIn you can manage your professional identity and build & engage with your professional network.

LinkedIn offers many features that should be taken advantage of by members on the site. For me, I enjoy the hashtag and search bar features. The hashtag feature gives me the ability to follow things that I am interested in; for example, sports and journalism. The search bar gives me quick access to find other professionals I would like to connect with.

Although I am still trying to learn how to work LinkedIn, I enjoy browsing through others’ profiles to see how I could improve my profile. While going through profiles, I came across my former internship supervisor profile, Kendrick Lewis. His profile caught my attention, because he has a professional head-shot photo and LinkedIn suggested the connections, since we both attended South Carolina State University.

LinkedIn gives us the opportunity to connect and tap into our professional potential. Connect with me on LinkedIn.
