        Linkedin is a social app to help you find the job that you always wanted. People through out this app can find your profile, look at your credentials and find out what kind of job you want or what fits into your field that you want to obtain. There is a place where you can find connections and those connections can have connections that can get you a job somewhere or field that you need to be in. Also if you put in your education and what job you want they have something where is leads you to the prefect college that has the best program for you.
       According to the "Search Engine Journal", you need to learn how to promote yourself through Linkedin to gain those connections and those jobs. For business wise, this is the best and safest way to get to your dream job and for multiple reasons too. You don't have photos that can harm your career. Your profile looks professional and clean to show off all of your best qualities for that job you are looking for in your area.
       In the article from CVCentre, they discuss how all the mangers or HR is on Linkedin, waiting for someone who wants to go into their field. To get though you need to look professional and nothing else. You need to act like this is an interview in some sort of way because they are looking at your online resume, that you personally set up yourself so why you put a bad profile picture on there or have something on there that you wouldn't your new boss to know or to see.  The thing with Linkedin is that people want to make sure that they look good that everything seems right and prefect for this new job they could possibly get.
      Linkedin just in general is a very beneficial sight to anyone who wants go into a filed, but doesn't know to get a job there or if the job its self have very limited openings. This is where all the connections come together and in away it kind of betters humanity, with people helping each other like this by gaining other people who need it the most helping them look for employment. I feel like this is a good social media site that people should get involved it makes things grow.  So are you Linkedin?
