embership in this
social media networking service has been
growing like crazy, with more
than 225 million members
worldwide including 77 million
in the United States. Think of it
as Facebook, only for your professional self. It's a great way to
find people you might know at
companies you're interested in.
Recruiters are increasingly
making use of LinkedIn, too,
which means if you're looking
for a job, you need to be on it,
says David G. Robins, a trainer,
facilitator, and consultant who
teaches LinkedIn workshops
at Jewish Vocational Services
in San Francisco. In fact, you
should have a presence on the
network even if you're not looking for a job. It's becoming an
increasingly valuable tool for
making connections, tracking
trends, and showcasing your
professional accomplishments.
