StarT NETWORKING WITH LINKEDIN
joseph massuda  

LinkedIn is the social media platform for business professionals. It is the modern-day way to get your name out there and help generate a buzz for companies looking to hire. With LinkedIn, you can display your expertise and experience. It’s basically a living resume as professionals you know connect with you and endorse you for your skills.
​
Starting your LinkedIn account now can give you an edge over your colleagues. Accumulating connections, gaining endorsements, and expanding your network reach can allow you to find that first job you have been looking for before you even graduate! In addition, companies use LinkedIn to reach out and find graduating professionals to fill those entry-level positions. You also can message companies you are interested in to get yourself an interview.
​As the saying goes, “It’s not what you know, but who you know” in the business world. So create your LinkedIn page today and start networking. You will be amazed by the opportunities that open for you.
