In the current age of digitalization, LinkedIn has become essential for every man who aspires to enhance career chances or who wants to land his ideal job for better career opportunities.
LinkedIn is just like Instagram where we can post photos and videos and people can like share and follow each other’s accounts.
However, Instagram is only a time-wasting social media site as it becomes very difficult to find employment over Instagram.
On similar grounds, if you are an active user of LinkedIn you can get in touch with industry stalwarts who work at Fortune 500 companies and other MNCs; by doing so one can walk the same path towards creating a successful career goal and stay in tune with the current business scenario.
Speaking of or referring to the numbers, there are over 830 million users in more than 200 countries and territories worldwide who are using LinkedIn.
Many of us use LinkedIn, so it would be fair on my part to list down the advantages of using LinkedIn.
