Linking With LinkedIn

 

LinkedIn's is a social media platform all about building connections with it's users and their potential future employers. It is one of the most trusted platforms ever created, as it's potential job opportunities as well as the seriousness that goes into appearing and being professional all create an atmosphere of integrity and genuineness. LinkedIn's algorithm also allows it to match users with relevant info and other users, which isn't really exclusive to LinkedIn but it opens up potential connection opportunities they otherwise may miss. This content filtering can help you connect people or businesses that you may already know or have contacted before, filter out non-substantial content like political messages or content that is made just to farm engagements or likes, LinkedIn is made to let it's users to interact with more niche content that suit's their interests.

Now that's all fine and interesting, but how does one really succeed on the platform. Well for one being on the platform is the first choice in a string of choices to getting a job you actually want. I mean you don't really need a LinkedIn account to talk to a Subway manager, which isn't downplaying people who work in fast food, but LinkedIn can help people get more specialized or specific jobs in their career path. Being on LinkedIn shows that you at least care enough to want to potentially build business connections. Being active on the app and being up to date with the industry would be pretty helpful, as being informed lets you act and respond to whatever is going on in the industry at that point in time. Staying curious, actively wanting to learn about the industry or a specific business is also a really good idea. At the end of the day, wanting to learn and acting/being professional will surely bring you at least some success in finding a job in whatever branch of the business industry interests you.
