SIMCEL ONLINE

LinkedIn is one of the oldest social media sites still active today. Founded in December 2002, the platform has grown exponentially over the years – unlike many that have eventually disappeared in that time.

According to Top Dog Social Media, over 84 million people use LinkedIn in the US alone. For comparison: That is about 27% of the total population. But LinkedIn is not your average social media platform.

Rather than managing social relationships, LinkedIn was created to help business people connect and build a resume-based online profile.

Being on LinkedIn is an important step for individuals hoping to continue growing and advancing their careers in the manufacturing, engineering, and environmental industries. Here we discuss why.

Build your network

With so many professionals on LinkedIn, the site is the best way to build a network of industry experts. Other users can attest to the skills you list on your profile, which is real validation that you can do what you say you can.

A good network can open a world of opportunity for those who care about their careers. It can help you land a new job or promotion, and allow you to keep up to date with the latest industry trends such as:

What will the future pricing plan look like?
What are the latest technologies or trends that will revolutionize these industries?
What are the current environmental problems worldwide?
The beginning of life
The term “live resume” means that the information on your LinkedIn profile can be updated or added to on a regular basis so that everything is as up-to-date as possible.

Because of this, many administrators have used these profiles in their processes. A person who submitted their resume for review three months ago may have new skills or training relevant to the position.

However, to do this properly, you need to keep the profile as up-to-date as possible. If you earn a new certification, earn a degree, or complete a related job, you must list it on your LinkedIn profile within 48 hours of completion.

If you allow your profile to grow for too long, your career growth will be hampered. This is especially true in all construction, engineering and environmental industries where electricity is important for both safety and efficiency.

Promote yourself

LinkedIn is a catalyst for professional development efforts. You can share your profile on other social sites including blogs or websites. Your profile will also appear in search results, where it will be shown to users searching for professionals in your industry.

All of your professional information is available to everyone — which is helpful for creating a compelling thesis. Your page will show your accomplishments, certifications, education, previous jobs, cover letter, and links to your resume. Making this information publicly available allows you to appear clear, reliable, and trustworthy.

look for a job

LinkedIn is one of the best ways for industry professionals to find work. Your profile offers the opportunity to declare your willingness to donate, actively looking for a job, or are not currently willing to donate. Employers or Employers can look for professionals looking for jobs within the industry and the skills they need.

While anyone can submit their work, using LinkedIn as a way to land a job is one step above the other. This is because a lot of work is important to you. Just update your profile and keep improving your skills as the job openings come your way.
