The power of Linked-in and an analysis of its effectiveness/necessity.
I already had a Linked-in account, but it was very outdated and it needed a refresh, so once I remembered my password I was able to log in and see what Linked-in had to offer. Initially I was a little confused as to what exactly Linked-in was and how it could help me, but after some clicking around it became clearer. It is used as a professional networking site for people looking to connect to others in the same industry as them. It asked to connect to my contacts and i was able to view tutors and individual artists and companies pages. It is essentially the ‘Facebook’ equivalent for working professionals.
It seems quite clunky to use and I don’t think I would log in as often as i would on other sites, such as Instagram, as it isn’t very attractive or eye catching to use.
