LinkedIn Profile

In week 4 of the module, we learned about networking and the importance of LinkedIn.

Networking is “the process of establishing a mutually beneficial relationship with other business people and potential clients or customers” (Ward, 2021). I’ve heard of LinkedIn but never planned to make one because I didn’t know its use; however, my professor taught me that opening a LinkedIn account can help me engage with professional networks and manage my professional identity.

On February 21, I created an account on LinkedIn and instantly made connections with 28 other BSU students and other relevant people. I updated my profile with a few sections to help people discover my background.

By March 11, I was able to connect with 57 people, and one of them was a candidate I interviewed for my report, which was very helpful in completing this module.
