Your LinkedIn profile

LinkedIn is the biggest professional social network with over 500 million users. On
this platform you can engage with people you have worked with, want to work
with or want to know professionally. It is a space for your work and professional
interests. You can browse various job opportunities, apply for those that suit your
skills and read interesting articles written by people you admire. LinkedIn is the best
place to note all your work experience, education and training, skills and expertise
you have gained on the job. An advantage of LinkedIn is that, unlike a formal CCV,
it is visual, dynamic and adaptable. Having an editable profile means you can focus
on goals that are most important to you.

Why is LinkedIn a big deal in the professional world?

• It’s the future of searching for professional opportunities.
