During Career Connections
Linkedin benefits for students:
1. Start building a network of connections on the world's largest business social networking site so when they begin there job search they are already have a data base to search from.
2. Begin to write and improve on the Linkedin Profile which is a "resume on steriods" searchable not only on Linked but on the internet in general.
3. Get a head start virtually networking with other students and business professionals on what is going on in industries and companies the student may be interested in joining upon graduation.
4. Review profiles of the individual that the student may be meeting/interviewing with prior to meeting
Linkedin is the number one online business social networking site with over 40 million members. A new member every second of the day. LinkedIn is an interconnected network of experienced professionals from around the world, representing 170 industries and 200 countries. You can find, be introduced to, and collaborate with qualified professionals that you need to work with to accomplish your goals.
"Linkedin is the recruiter's favorite social networking tool, Online social networking is particularly worthwhile if you don't have a strong in-person network. This situation is common for job seekers who are relocating, changing careers, or returning to work after an absence"- Patrice-Anne Rutledge, author of "The Truth About Profiting From Social Networking"
