LinkedIn is more than just a professional networking site. It’s also a tool for helping you find your next job. Companies can post job openings, which you can apply to (often without leaving LinkedIn), and you can find open jobs through informal group and company updates and discussions.
If you create a great LinkedIn profile, employers might even find you and approach you with a new job opportunity! That’s why it’s so important to publish content and engage in activities on LinkedIn (like the ones discussed in Parts 1–3 of this book) that tell your story, establish your credibility, develop your reputation, and build your brand. This chapter teaches you how to use LinkedIn as a job search tool, so when the right opportunity arises, you’re ready to take it.
