LinkedIn

I love visiting this site in terms of business because most times, it will connect you to your target audience making it easier to hook you up. It is just good for business match-making.

You get job references without a resume based on your experience. It's also a great way to keep in touch with colleagues.

It has a nice interface with the news feeds on top and all the tabs at the bottom. It also allows you to message people if you wish to communicate with them. One more important feature is you can follow recruiters and keep a track of their activities and keep yourself updated. Overall a super platform for job seekers and recruiters.

One of the best social networking site in recent times. Its been an very good website to be part of as it provided opportunity to me to connect with different working people. It also helped me to connect with friends who belongs to different working community. It also acts as job portal for job seekers who are in need of job. It has helped me to endorse my friends to different people who are in need of resources. Linkedin is very powerful social networking site as many recruiters are looking for talented candidates in different streams in this site.

It's the best chat app I've ever seen, I love it very much. It's so simple, that this app can be used by all generations. It is useful for conversation, messaging and video calling. Sending free texts across channels is an excellent choice, including globally. Eventually, there are several other apps but I would recommend Whatsapp to everyone.

I had to go on Disability 12 years ago. Up until that time, I had been an RN with a BSN and Infection Prevention/Control certification for 10 years. I had much experience in both Oncology in many different settings, and later in Infection Prevention/Control and Quality and knowledge of Accreditation requirements, areas that were somewhat unique. So I made my profile and became involved in LinkedIn. I was able to connect with other business and healthcare personnel through this site. After I became disabled and had to retire from nursing, I didn't use LinkedIn much, but they still connected with me. I found out when connections got promotions, so I could congratulate them, I saw where long time peers worked and could access them, and mainly, even now (almost 4 times a week!) I find out that people have looked at my profile as they search for people to fill positions! In fact, this past 12 months, my profile has been checked 3-4 times a week, even though I state perfectly clear that I'm retired due to disability! So to those who are still out there working, you can be assured that employers and personnel departments and recruiters ARE checking you out! That is VERY GOOD if you are looking for job/career opportunities. On the other hand, some of the job opportunities I get are nothing that I'd either qualify for nor want! However, if I was looking for a new position, from what I see in my LinkedIn, and the times I'm checked out, I would definitely become a LinkedIn member, which is free.

As someone off the road, I can't really show up for an interview at any given time just to be declined or to get a maybe. Using this site I can set up a virtual interview and get an answer right away.

Apparently I filled out my profile like an All Star/Expert already way back. That wasn't the hard part or even wanting to get endorsed or anything (how do I remove "cast stone" endorsement from there?) Recently I think I'm eligible to even use video to share whatever it is I have to share? Likely to communicate with all the connections I'll ever make even years later to thank them of a single purchase if I'm bored or connecting with some old fling. Finding opportunities or a job, well I wouldn't pay a service for that I'd trust my own skills to apply to jobs. Firms are taking LinkedIn resumes in somewhat already implementing it. Curious to see how it changes from since when I first joined when I was still a "handicraft worker"/unemployed. I have so little work experience and I'm thirty but instructions - I'm good at following them. Trial and error and learning from those... evolve, and grow. Don't really mean to write an essay I'm just still baffled how they won best job search, category.

I found LinkedIn to be a good professional service, however I was disappointed to find that my trial was automatically transferred to a premium membership and I was charged a monthly fee. I contacted their customer support and they were helpful in refunding the fee, however I found this to be a bit deceptive and so I have downgraded my 5 star rating

LinkedIn is a best app to connect with people on professional level. Connect with right people related to your line of work to get your perfect job.

I see this and use the site as a business platform, to both promote and find other professional services. I probably do not use the site well, and because I am so busy and receive a lot of word of mouth referrals I don't use Linked in to it's full potential. I could do with learning how to use it more effectively. But I like the way it links to so many professional companies and people.

Currently I have more than 500 connection on LinkedIn, with the help of LinkedIn connections, I am able to find people those who have new opputunities for me. Services of LinkedIn are awesome, follow those whome you like. LinkedIn is very user friendly and easy to use, services like endorsement is really useful, sending invites is very important to create new connections. LinkedIn is very optimized it's loading time is very less or its depends on internet connection speed. Chat service of LinkedIn is nice, so you can chat with your connections and get new opportunities in your carrier. Linked support is great, they reply very quickly.

Some people seem to think Linked-In is for getting a job, not really.

Very similar to Facebook but based on work related and professional contacts.

Negatives, there is a premium so you don't get all features (it's not really a negative).

Positives, you get everything you need out of the site WITHOUT PAYING premium is only for those who are serious about LinkedIn.

Highly recommend for those serious about making business contacts.

You will get some people contacting you which will come across as spam, recruiters mainly for me, this is the same as anything nowadays.

At first glance this platform is good for connection with other, preferrably those people who work in different spheres and it it helps find them.
From the other point of view, it's a little bit useless website.

I like LinkedIn. It's a pretty innocuous site. I have no complaints. I've used them for about 5 years.

I have the free pkg and it helps to expand my network internationally. However I wouldn't use the premium version; for what it offers, there just isn't sufficient value in it.

Linkedin is an site and a company and also a business program. You can get an email from it and it helps in sending and receiving emails faster... Excellent tool when you need to find a job or as a tool to keep your network updated all the time, I have a fully populated profile, 300 connections, have been a premium member and have changed jobs since joining... No doubt, it is the best professional networking site.

This is a legit site used by many professionals to get connected and get jobs.
I was headhunted and also managed to get connected with many nice people here.
The premium service is not useful enough to continue, though.

Yep, you heard it. I use LinkedIn for my lead generation process and it works fine, but daaaamn their plans are super expensive!

Definitely an improvement over the last version. As an IT guy myself, I appreciate the subtle changes then enhance one's experience.

LinkedIn is more than a job locator. Community is a great source of professional Info, technical resources and leadership tips.

After moving a few times, it was great to connect with old coworkers and create some new connections. Always good to network, even virtually.

I use this site mostly to network and get new business ideas. I do like the idea of gold membership but think, for the money, it's a little costly for my needs. I don't mind the additional benefits - but for the £'s, don't think I would necessarily see any value in them at the moment.
All in all, a good networking site - with a slightly annoying creepy side where some guys still think it's okay to comment on the way a woman looks, or judges her appearance - in a creepy way - not acceptable for a professional site and more should be done to prevent weirdo's from perving on women, in this way. It's not facebooks, after all!
