What is LinkedIn?
Linkedin is a business- and employment-focused online service available in the United States by websites and mobile applications. The website, which went live on May 5, 2003, is primarily used for professional networking and career growth, and it allows job seekers to post their CVs as well as organizations to advertise positions. A LinkedIn member’s profile page, which focuses on skills, career experience, and education, includes professional network news feeds and a limited number of customizable modules. LinkedIn’s basic membership is free. “Connections” are network members. LinkedIn, unlike other free social networking sites such as Facebook or Twitter, requires contacts to have a prior relationship.
Benefits of LinkedIn
You have the ability to create your own brand.
Personal websites are ideal for this, but they sometimes come with additional expenditures — as well as hours and hours of development and finessing. LinkedIn is an easy method to get your name out there in the professional world. Upload a professional profile photo and create a compelling LinkedIn description that highlights your abilities and personality. When recruiters, employers, coworkers, and supervisors go over your profile, they should have a good idea of who you are and what abilities you bring to the table.
It can help your name rank higher on Google.
If you apply for a job, it’s likely that one of the first things an employer or human resources manager will do is Google your name. Even sending an email to a new customer might result in a Google search of your identity. If you haven’t Googled yourself before, now is the moment. What does the first page of search results show? Here’s another advantage of LinkedIn: Ranking on the first page of Google can be challenging, but LinkedIn is a well-known and influential network – and Google is interested in it. As a consequence, ranking your LinkedIn profile on Google is typically easier than ranking your handcrafted website or online portfolio.
It keeps your contact list up to date.
You can do research on businesses and their personnel.
