Linkedin is a website that can develop connections in the professional world. After graduating from college, Linkedin would be a great tool to start of your career path. By creating a profile within this program, you can reach out and get your name out there to employers. Since many employers are using the internet now as a recruiting tool, it is important to know what are professional social networks, and what are not. For example, for those of us on facebook, it is important that we have clean profiles and only portray ourselves in a positive light to be looked upon as respective employees to future employees. In Linkedin, it is not as much of a problem because it is only used as a professional social network rather than only a social network.
