As you may know, social media is one of the fastest growing means of connecting with others.  Needless to say, it has slowly but surely captured the attention of employers everywhere, becoming one of the most utilized sources to target and reach consumers. 

In an effort to attract the best talent to meet organizational needs, employers are now turning to the professional social network giant LinkedIn to find and recruit talented job seekers. 

LinkedIn is a business-oriented social networking site that is mainly used for professional networking.   LinkedIn operates the world’s largest professional network on the Internet, with more than 90 million members in over 200 countries and territories.

Multiple studies confirm that the number one way to land a job offer is through networking, so setting up an account on a professional networking site is only going to increase the likelihood that you make the right connection with the right people at the right time.
