27. What would be the importance of using
a professional network such as LinkedIn
for your professional career ?
Professional Networks, such as LinkedIn,
function as an online resume of sorts.
However they are less comprehensive and
should Not be used as a replacement but
rather, as a complement where others can
testify to your claims and you can stay up to
date with news about your profession.

28. How a professional network such as
LinkedIn can boost your professional
networking?
Through LinkedIn we can connect with our
contacts an other people we have worked
with, but we can also connect with others
that might be interested in employ us. It is
good to have a good networking because

your skills.
