What is LinkedIn?

What is LinkedIn?

LinkedIn is the one of the largest professional networking web sites with over 80 million members and growing rapidly every day. The goal of LinkedIn is to help connect you to your trusted contacts and to help you exchange knowledge, ideas, and opportunities with a broader network of professionals in your field. The big difference with this social media site compared to others sites such as Face Book is that it is more career orientated and an important place to have your resume, portfolio and other career tools listed.
