That’s because we’re living in a time where we are heavily dependent on the Internet and social media platforms to get the latest deets on what’s happening. When it comes to the working world, that’s where LinkedIn comes into play. LinkedIn is a place where you get an insight of what’s happening in the corporate world, who’s working where, and the latest job notices. Setting up a LinkedIn page is just as important as putting up a Facebook profile — but in a professional manner.
