Description

This is a great networking site. A great way to stay networked with colleagues and friends....to see what they are up to professionally. Also a great way to look for a job and make new contacts. The idea being that either a friend or a friend of a friend might have someone in their network with a job you are interested in or someone you know might have a contact at a company you are interested or in an industry you would like to get into, etc.. Through your friend you can ask for an introduction. You can also give people you have worked with recommendations and they can do the same for you. This goes a long way, especially when you apply for jobs posted on the Linked In site. Think of it as giving employers good references in advance.
