LinkedIn is a business- and employment-oriented social networking service that operates via websites and mobile apps.
The purpose of Linkedin is to help employers seek potential employees for their business. Resumes, Cover Letters/CV, and profile pictures can be edited for every type of page. It's like putting a face to the candidate. I have a profile on LinkedIn already. I think it has been up for about five years now. I have yet to obtain a job from there but I make a lot of connections and get a few messages about my work. It is best to update your profile often when new work and experiences arise.
Some good things about the site is that people can endorse you for skills. For example I am good at sewing so someone familiar to my skill will vouche for me on my page. This is good for employers because they can see my skills are recogizable. My idea of a good LinkedIn page is a professional profile picture (not a selfie), an up to date resume, full description of skills, and images to showcase skills. These steps could help anyone get their dream job! It's not what you do, it's how you do it!
