LinkedIn

[RANSOMSOUL]

Here is how I see the platform:

Young person pursuing degree (LinkedIn's value will be excellent in growing your network for connections on jobs and job resources once you graduate)

Mid-Level Employee (LinkenIn's value is showing you how many companies are out there and possibly need your skill sets. Some people go to work on Monday, praying for Friday - willing to give up 4 days of their life in jobs they hate. Why continue to stay at a position if you have an excellent resource that can aid in your efforts to get out!

Upper Management/C-Level (LinkedIn's value is excellent on leveraging for corporate opportunities)

I do some heavy international traveling and have used LinkedIn from business opportunities, leveraged relationships with beautiful places to stay and mostly just to meet some super talented people that I now call friends.

Online platforms like, LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram (heck Degreeforum) can be a waste of time and worthless to many but they can also be phenomenal resources if you use them with that as your focus.
