The past couple of social media platforms that I have been talking about in my blogs have been less formal, but what I am going to talk about today is more professional. LinkedIn is the most professional social media network out there. LinkedIn has over 740 million users in over 200 countries. Like many other social media networks, it is global. The main purpose of LinkedIn is to connect with professionals around the world, advance careers, stay in touch with industry news, etc. By 2004, the platform reached 1 million professionals and by 2007 it reached 10 million. This was a relatively fast-growing industry. The philosophy has not changed from the start of the network to what it is now. It is to connect with people in your field and related fields.
For my future career, I would like to work in the sports industry. I currently have a LinkedIn account and have connected with many people in my field. Based on just my LinkedIn account I have been able to have interviews with many people in my field. Who knows I might use those interviews to help me get a job in the future. I have also connected with people in various industries that are ONU alums which can also help me get a job in the future. I just started my LinkedIn account recently, but I know I will use it in the future.
Hi Noah, I liked reading your post about LinkedIn. I like how you stated what you want to do in your future and how you plan to use this app to help you out with that. It is good to use it very well because it probably the best app to help with your future.
