Learning About Design 4

 I have learned that LinkedIn is so much more than I ever gave it credit for. I now am excited to use it as another tool in my arsenal going forward, a powerful one at that. I have had a LinkedIn account for some time. I had known there was some hype to it and that people who were career-minded and looking to grow within their field could utilize the website as an aid to those needs.  But what I did not realize was, how it benefited a member and what features produced what results for them.

     I have learned that creating a profile on LinkedIn connects you with a vast network of career-minded individuals looking to share their work, inspirations, and thoughts as well as post ideas and questions, share their blogs, and open doors via networking through the site. There is also a skill set assessment option that you can take that provides you with a certificate and proof you can back up the skills you claim to have. In addition, you can create a resume and post it as well as a cover letter, and find work in your desired field. I  can see why this is the number one used social media site. I fully plan on making the most of what LinkedIn has to offer.
