Today I went to my career development class to learn about linked in. I learned lots of great things in order to help me get a great profile on this app. I never knew that there where so many things you could do with this program. The instructor had a slide show and in that slide show he was talking about all the great things the app offers. He showed us how to use the functions and how to connect with people. It seems like this app is like an adult instagram because you can post on it and also have a business profile all within one platform. This app is a big thing for getting a job. Most employers look at your profile to understand the person they might be interviewing and not having a profile could put any applicant into jeopardy with your future job.
Another great thing I learned about this platform is it is a great way to connect with other peoples people. For instance you can connect to someone else’s friend while having your friend connect with that person as well almost like a group chat but in a professional sense. Linked in can come a long way with an individual as the account grows with the years of job experience and when you learn more skills. A more diverse profile shows the person has done a lot and becomes a great person you want to be friends with because you never know if the person who is going to hire you is their friend.
Over all my experience was pretty interesting and informative for me because I learned something new and it will help me in the future when i am applying for a job. My profile will be great because I went to this class to learn more and help my career develop.
