Online Employment Networking with Linkedin
The ultimate networking tool for online career management
LinkedIn features all the career management tools you need to
promote your professional skills to employers around the
world. LinkedIn allows you to build an online career profile
which highlights your employment history including your education,
experience and your capabilities through a dedicated learning
centre. This career profile will then act as an online shop
window about you and your career that employers can access.
Not only that but LinkedIn is also a recognised research
tool for locating businesses and individuals you may be
interested in working with in your new career and will help you
boost your social network. Research suggests that some 80% of
appointments made at the moment are from candidates who heard about
the position through networking. The Internet greatly
increases the number of people with whom you can network and this
in turn increases your chances of landing a new job.
Even if you already use LinkedIn we recommend you visit the
learning centre. There are many job tips, career tools and
techniques to help you market yourself effectively. We are
working closely with LinkedIn to personalise and enhance this
service for Careerplan4.me members and are always looking on ways
to improve our service to you, so please let us know how LinkedIn
is working for you by contacting us.
