THE SECRET TO FINDING A JOB VIA THE INTERNET

LinkedIn is the leading professional network on the web, with over 200 million members, designed specifically for the business community.

The aim of this social network is to allow registered members to establish professional links. You can use it to connect with classmates and colleagues, to find new job opportunities (internships and full time positions) or to find key contacts at companies that interest you. According to Reid Hoffman, the co-founder, 27% of LinkedIn subscribers are recruiters!

The LinkedIn member’s profile page shows your education history and work career (in other words:  your CV) and network members are called “connections”.

How to join LinkedIn?

1.     Go to: www.linkedin.com;
2.     Type your first name, last name, email address and password (you must use your true name when creating a profile: company names and pseudonyms are not allowed, as we explain in the “User Agreement”).
