LinkedIn is the official app of the world’s largest professional social network. Millions of people use it every day to advance their careers, whether they are looking for new jobs, expanding their network of contacts, or simply reading the most relevant news in their industry. Whatever it is, it is very likely that the next stage of your professional career will be through LinkedIn.

Registering with LinkedIn through the app is a very quick and easy process. All you need to do is identify yourself using a Gmail account and, in less than ten seconds, you will be able to start customizing your profile within the platform. As is typical in social media, you will be able to choose a profile photo and a header image for your profile. However, taking into account that this is a professional network, it is advisable to choose a real photograph in which your face is clearly visible. Of course, you can add as much information as you like, especially regarding your work life: which companies you have worked for and for how long, your best skills, and so on.

One of the most interesting aspects of LinkedIn is that, for all intents and purposes, your profile will become a digital, enhanced version of your resume. Thanks to your profile, any recruiter looking for workers will be able to find you easily. This is why it is so important to keep it updated with your previous experience and skills, which can be certified by other users of the app. Thanks to the integrated chat tool, you can also communicate instantly with any other user of the social network to discuss offers, news or any other topic. From the chat you can also attach photos, documents and other files.

As with any social media, to start getting the most out of LinkedIn you must create your own network of contacts. That is to say you must follow other users and other companies, connect with colleagues and former colleagues, share interesting information and, in short, be an active part of the community. This is the only way you will be able to find out about the latest news in your field of work and, more importantly, be well connected for when good opportunities come your way. A wide network of contacts and an active news feed are the foundation for a good and prosperous working life. Of course, you can also contribute. Creating a Post is as simple as tapping the central button of the app and choosing the type of post you want to share. You can attach photos and videos, create surveys, share documents, or use an existing template.

Download LinkedIn and become part of the world’s largest professional social network, where millions of workers from all over the world meet every day. News and job offers are shared here, but most important of all, ideas are shared. Ideas that can sow the seeds of your future or those of many other people.
