Want to take the most of your professional relationships? Forget exchanging business cards. LinkedIn is an online business network that has been adopted by professionals from all industries around the world.
It seems to be the Facebook version for business networking. By joining LinkedIn, you are able to create a profile that summarizes your professional accomplishments. Your profile helps you find and be found by former colleagues, clients, and partners. You can invite your contacts to join LinkedIn and connect to you. Your network consists of your connections, your connections’ connections, and the people they know, linking you to thousands of professionals. LinkedIn helps you find potential clients, business partners, employers, employees, and service providers. Join LinkedIn for free and start searching for people, jobs, or answers by entering a keyword, name, company, or title in the search box. You can also ask a question and get it answered by industry experts who are members of the site. They also offer paid accounts that give you more tools for finding and reaching the right people. Half of LinkedIn’s users live overseas and use the website in English, so LinkedIn hopes to add Japanese, Chinese and other languages in the near future.
