LinkedIn is an online network comprising over 20 million professionals and 150 industries. To access the network, you must register and create a profile that describes your skills and accomplishments. This profile can then be found by former co-workers, clients, and potential new employers. Through LinkedIn, your connections are “linked” to the connections of everyone on your network, the people they know, and so on. You can see how this network ultimately connects you to thousands of other individuals. You can use LinkedIn to find business opportunities, jobs, potential clients, and service providers. The more connections in your network, the greater the chance that recruiters and employees will see your profile when they are looking for candidates. According to LinkedIn’s own statistics, individuals with more than 20 connections are 34 times more likely to be contacted about a job opening than those with fewer than five connections.
