I just got done creating my own LinkedIn account, and I must say I found it to be very benifical - especially to a Senior whose about to graduate in less than 3 months and is yet to find/really look for a job. For those of you who don't know what LinkIn is, it's website states:
"LinkedIn is an interconnected network of experienced professionals from around the world, representing 150 industries and 200 countries. You can find, be introduced to, and collaborate with qualified professionals that you need to work with to accomplish your goals."
Now, going back to the whole beficial aspect of things.. As LinkedIn previously stated, this website actually allows you to create your own profile explaining who you are, what school you attend, what job(s) you have or have previously had, what skills you obtain, what 'life goals' you have for yourself, and most importantly, what your specifically looking for in the working world.
As I continued to create my profile, I also found that you can import your resume, search for people within your field of study and/or interest and even recieve recommendations from individuals/companys.
I'm currently 70% finished with my profile on the website (or so the LinkedIn status claims), and have listed a lot of aspects of my personal and professional life in which I believe will assist me in being one step closer to find what it is I'm looking for. Basically, if you haven't already created an account go to http://www.linkedin.com/ and get 'linked in'!
