I had the pleasure to sit in a LinkedIn workshop, hosted by the STARR career center. This workshop was educational and showed me how to create and start using the site LinkedIn. This is a site that helps you get jobs and internships, based on what field you want to work in the future. The workshop wasn’t very long so it wasn’t as informative as it could’ve been.
They had me set up my account, which was similar to signing up for multiple social media sites such as Instagram and Facebook. The layout of the site was easy to maneuver and it is good for you to be able to gain internships during your time in college.
I think this site should be used by every student at Baruch because it is easy to maneuver and because it will help get you internships that are needed if you want to get a job in many fields of work. Internships provided by this site gets you an edge over people in job searching as those who don’t get an internship during college, don’t have a resume that is as good as yours.
