LinkedIn continues to evolve and is gaining new members and being updated at a record pace due to the current economic conditions, more specifically, the job market.
LinkedIn has become a primary source for Recruiters and HR Professionals to seek and research candidates for open positions. Using this type of a site allows recruiters to be selective of their candidates and conduct focused searches (as compared to looking through hundreds of resumes, many of which the candidate is not qualified for the position).
They continue to add new applications such as slide shows and blogs for professionals to market themselves. Another recent update is the ability to add some personal information. I recommend professionals be selective about what information they put out on the web however, if you are seeking employment, you many want to consider updating your profile to include some additional contact information. Again, some information such as martial status and birthday you may want to stay away from just to avoid potential discrimination issues. The information that can now be added is below:
Personal Information
Phone:
Address:
IM:
Birthday:
Marital status:
Just another resource that is available for Free that continues to evolve!
