Type of site Social network service

 Job seekers can review the profile of hiring
managers and discover which of their existing
contacts can introduce them.
 Users can post their own photos and view
photos of others to aid in identification.
 Users can follow different companies and can
receive notifications about the new joinin and
offers available.
 Users can save (i.e. bookmark) jobs that they
would like to apply for.
 Users can "like" and "congratulate" each other's
updates and new employments.
 Users can see who has visited their profile page.

DISADVANTAGES
 Social networking allows people to connect
with old friends, share information and stay
in touch with family.
 Many social networking sites focus on these
elements.
 LinkedIn, however, focuses on the business
applications of social networking.
 It allows users to post information such as
industry and business interests, which
makes it a powerful tool in recruitment of
new employees outside the immediate
vicinity and connecting with others inside an
industry.
 Like all social networking site, LinkedIn
comes with its own set of disadvantage

 Privacy
 One of the major risks of social
networking and the Internet in general
is breaches in privacy.
 Sites collect considerable amounts of
personal information, with email
addresses being one of the most, if not
the single most, collected piece of
personal data.
 To reap full advantage of LinkedIn,
however, the user typically must
disclose information such as current
and past employers, as well as current
contact information.
 The user assumes considerably more
risk of identity theft in the event of a
breach in LinkedIn’s security.
 MY EXPERIENCE
 MY experience with Linkedin is pleasing that I
have found such
 Inspiring friends I do not have to go back to
“introduce yourself here…..”discussion on

 The linkedin executive editor is too busy
perhaps; I have not been able to connect him
even In mail.
