LinkedIn

• Along with many social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, LinkedIn has become a popular tool to connect with people from all around the world. However when talking about business and professional matters, LinkedIn is definitely the most important one. With more than 277 million members, there’s no doubt that LinkedIn is the world’s largest professional network. LinkedIn not only allows workers and job recruiters to establish a connection, but also colleagues and professional of many different fields. LinkedIn is also important, because it encourages the exchange of knowledge through the sharing of articles. I think that we as professionals or student need to take advantage of this tool to promote ourselves as knowledgeable people. We can share our experience, knowledge, achievements, skills and interest through this media. So, LinkedIn is useful to develop our professional brand to give people a pleasant experience so that they will be willing to come back for more. From my personal experience, I can say that I have been using LinkedIn for a little time but I have discover many interesting things on it. I can say it has been very useful for me to discover this tool, because I am going to use it to promote myself.
