LinkedIn is a powerful tool for networking, job search and professional development. It is more than a simple resume. It is something that works for you even when you don’t think about it and don’t put any effort into it. It is something that translates your passion, your values and your vision into a meaningful and powerful profile. It is your online identity, an extended interactive version of your resume which is considered to be more powerful than any resume by a majority of recruiters. There are 128 million of LinkedIn users in the United States and even more from all over the world. Most of the creative jobs are posted in specialized LinkedIn groups first before being posted on job boards. Recent research shows that up to 97% of recruiters start their search from LinkedIn.
