LinkedIn.com is professional networking at its finest. Every college student should get one. (I will give you five minutes to set it up and then come back and read this..GO!).
Why LinkedIn you ask?
Networking is everything. We've all heard the phrase "it's not what you know but who you know" but what many of us forget is that we do really know a lot of people.
Think about everyone you know that may know someone: professors, coworkers, parents, parent's friends or collegues, friends, classmates.
Now think about this: if you join LinkedIn and connect to all of these people you already know and then browse there contacts, isn't it quite possible you may find someone else to network with? Couldn't that contact lead to an internship or even a job?
The answer is YES!
So get going and start networking. Your next contact or job could be right around the corner!
yes networking is so crucial right now in finding jobs. I haven't joined LinkedIn yet but I am definitely going to soon.
