With 161 million users in 200 countries, the social networking site LinkedIn is THEE avenue to communicate with friends and colleagues in the business world. If you haven’t created an account yet, what are you waiting for? You will be amazed how far reaching a few personal contacts can take you. You just might meet someone who can open doors for you because they trust and respect your friend or colleague.
LinkedIn has many tools for the job seeker or the information junky. “Question and Answer” forums have been introduced so anyone can find what they are looking for. The community will direct you to the needed source. You are able to upload a resume, post a job, or search for that skilled labor; although much of the site is a pay-as-you-go arrangement. Currently you can circumvent some fees if you just look around for answers.
Relevant information to your profession can be found on LinkedIn Today, the sites customizable news articles/blogs page. You can read these articles and blogs of like minds in your industry which can give your work ethic and working knowledge a foot up. “Never Stop Learning and Growing!” has always been my motto and LinkedIn is another tool to help achieve those goals.

LinkedIn users can search for information on companies worldwide and join “Industry” Groups to share pertinent information. HR Associates company profile will connect you to our world, http://www.linkedin.com/company/hr-associates-personnel-service.
Professional networking is for everyone and should be promoted as such. With 27 years of “Customer Service” experience, I’ve found that no matter what your professional or job background, we all want the same thing; the peace of mind that comes with a good job, family, friends, and a roof over our heads. LinkedIn is a 21st Century tool you should dive into and see what positive changes you can make in your life.
