business and employment-oriented online service. It was founded in 2002 by Reid Hoffman, Jean-Luc Vaillant, Konstantin

United States. It operates via websites and mobile apps. The platform is
primarily used for career development and allows jobs seekers to post their CVs

What is LinkedIn used for?
We can use LinkedIn to find
the right jobs or internship, and to learn the skills you need to succeed in
your career. Also, we can display our resume, and it is designed to help people
make business connections. There are settings on LinkedIn that alert recruiters
that you’re actively job searching, and we can comment on other people’s posts
as well.
What are the benefits of
having a profile on LinkedIn?
First, having a LinkedIn
profile is the best thing because it’s a free account. Second, it gives us the
ability to showcase our profile that will allow us to have an online personal
brand which means when our name is put into the search our online personal
brand profile will appear in the search results engine. Also, having a LinkedIn
profile will help us to build trust with employers as they can see our
recommendations and connections.
