After I read these articles; How to Get the Most Out of LinkedIn and It’s Not Just Who You Know , I felt that networking thru Internet is becoming more and more important in the field of business. It means that if we don’t use sites like LinkedIn, difficulty on finding opportunity to make business successfully would be more severe. This is because other competitors will use this tool to make their goal.
Then, why people use business networking even though it would not be the best way to attain their purpose? I think this is because the business networking makes people more familiar. It’s like social networking like Facebook. When people read the expected partners’ profile including photos like something before they meet each other, they feel like they know partners better than reading them by resumes or documentary files. Therefore, if I graduate the university and get a new job, I also might use sites like LinkedIn to make the business successfully!
I remember hearing about LinkedIn probably last year or so, but never really thought it was essential to the job search. But now, as I am in the process, I do think that it is an important part of it and it's very difficult to find a job or make connections without it.
ReplyDeleteI think you should get on LinkedIn to start building your online connections now and not wait until after you graduate, Soyoung!
ReplyDeleteThat's really true that social networking makes them familiar. I look forward for those sites to become more popular and reliable in the future!
