LinkedIn is a business-oriented social networking
service. It is the leading professional
networking on the web. It builds your
professional brand and marketing yourself in your field. It helps you maintain the professional
relationships, and turn professional relationships into great opportunities. According to the New York Times, “LinkedIn,
the networking site for professionals, has become a vast business gathering
place. With more than 259 million members in over 200 countries, LinkedIn
offers users, most of whom pay nothing for the service, a chance to hone and
increase their contacts.” LinkedIn is
currently one of the biggest social networking powerhouses; I personally think
it is a great asset for someone that is trying to build a business. I strongly agree that it is the secret to
finding your dream job. With technology
and social media nowadays it is essentially getting easier and easier to
network and connect to people. I truly
believe in networking and in this big industry, everyone needs someone to give
them a helping hand. First, the basics: LinkedIn allows users to
create a compelling text-and-multimedia narrative of their life and work. It
can be updated at will, can be any length and it will often pop up in a Web
search of the user’s name. It is
essentially, submitting your application to many companies. One thing I found was a disadvantage when it
came to LinkedIn was the discrimination against women in the workplace. But a
good 40 percent of bullies are women. And at least the male bullies take an
egalitarian approach, mowing down men and women pretty much in equal measure.
The women appear to prefer their own kind, choosing other women as targets more
than 70 percent of the time. This makes
you want to think twice about things.
Who really wants to be a part of a disabled company that has values such
as that? I personally think that is
something the company should definitely correct and cater to both sexes
equally.
