LinkedIn is widely considered to be the number one social networking site for professionals. If you don’t already have a profile already, here are the top 5 reasons you should get one:

1. “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.” This is a cliché, but also true. The more people you are connected to on LinkedIn, the better chance you have of meeting someone who can help you advance your career or your company.

2. LinkedIn is the ideal place to learn new things about your industry. With top professionals sharing articles and opinions, it’s easy to grow professionally. Whether you’re in transportation or banking, LinkedIn holds a wealth of information on nearly every topic.  

3. Just like with any social media platform, current events are front and center, allowing you to remain abreast of the latest news. Companies use the site as a good way to share their developing projects and most recent accomplishments, while individuals can keep their work history up-to-date as they add to their experience.

4. There is nowhere better to exchange ideas and ask for advice. With thousands of industry executives and company owners, you can gain insight and receive feedback. Since it is a professional platform, the discussion aims to remain on topic and most people are happy to help mentor others.

5. Recruiters, like us here at CFC, use LinkedIn to find candidates as well as clients, so we can help both individuals and companies move forward and reach their goals. That being said, if there’s something we can do to help build your career or your company, get in touch with us through our website or reach out to me directly on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/making-lives-better/. I’d love to connect with you today!
