Linked In is an app I have recently added to the plethora of other apps I have on my phone. I have had a Linked In profile for a few years now, and I have recently started using the app more frequently.This app is Image result for linked ina great way to connect to jobs, people and the community. There are many employers on this app and they are able to look at profiles they are interested in and offer someone a job. Each person with a linked in account has their own profile where they can list their skills and attributes. On the other, hand linked in users can go and endorse other peoples skills on their profiles as well. It allows users to list their experiences/j0b titles and follow other organizations they identify with as well. The profile of a user is a great way to show employers what things the user is into and give them a little about their personality.

I would recommend that high school students should start making a profile and if students have not, then once in college that should be their next step. Here is a tutorial below, from you tube, on how to start a profile, for high school and college students. I recommend this app to anyone who ever wants to have a job, to anyone searching for employees or to anyone trying to connect to other people in their career field. Linked In is like a big pool of American people who are living the American dream and they have insights that someone may not think of. Why not gather information from people who have done more things, or gone more places?! It is a great way to meet new friends, new employers or new employees in one small app!
