Linkedin.com - A networking site for professionals

www.linkedin.com

Comparing with facebook, I do like Linkedin.com more. Through Linkedin, I can keep updating my resume to public, join a variety of professional groups to expend my network and connect with professionals around the world by just clicking the link.

I had a Linked account probably two years ago. However, I started frequently using Linked.com after I graduated from IIT last year. When I worked in Taiwan as a Java Developer, I could only connect to other professionals through the co-operated project, conferences, or online forum. There was no website like Linkedin.com at that time. Today, I can easily add someone who works for Google, Amazon or Apple in my professional network. It's amazing, isn't it?

Last but not least, if you're a job seeker, there are lots of recruiters and companies on Linkedin. Your resume can be found by them easily, or you can just send a message to someone in the company you're interested in working for.
