Why is LinkedIn Important?
Source: Keystone Associates
LinkedIn is a key component in the recruiting strategy of many
companies...large & small.
Managers say they value "professional experience" and "specific
hard skills" when looking for job prospects on LinkedIn.
Most companies use social media to promote their brand.
Using social media in your job search reflects that you are up to date with
technology, hiring trends, and that you have a willingness to learn.
