Smackdown
The smackdown app I chose was LinkedIn. It is a fun and easy way to connect with friends, coworkers, and career fields you might be interested in. It is American made and is mostly used for networking. They put their members first and take their words into consideration
LinkedIn helps with networking and how to find jobs while connecting with people in that field. You can follow all the companies of your career choice and even apply for a job through the app. If a member from a company sees your account, they can reach out to you first. 64% of people who are looking for jobs through LinkedIn get hired from referral.
LinkedIn is a great way to stay connected to people and jobs. It helps with your social skills also, by talking to people online and getting to know them before meeting them in person. If you want to learn more about this cool app, watch this video! https://youtu.be/t_bPM6IRsxc
LinkedIn is seriously a great site to get you connected with employers. It has helped so many people find jobs. I tend to get nervous using it because it makes it so real that I need to start applying for jobs! Your video was great and you did such a good job at explaining the site, I love that you showed your profile!
ReplyDeleteGreat smackdown video on LinkedIn! Everyone can agree this app/website is super useful and is a tool to have. Having Linkedin is a necessary in this day and age to get connected in your career field. Watching your video helps explains how important this app is!
ReplyDeleteLinkedIn is great for looking for jobs and careers and connecting you to people that can really help you further your career. I think it's really going to be even more popular once more places start opening up because a lot of people will be looking for jobs. Loved your video good job!
ReplyDeleteLinkedin is a very useful tool when networking and job searching. when you say that 64% of people found that it gave them success on job hunting what would you change or tweek to improve this app?
ReplyDeleteLinkedIn is a great app for not only finding employment but also staying on top of changes in your profession. I follow several marketing organizations that share new trends and top producing realtors that share trade secrets.
ReplyDeleteLinkedin is such a great tool for the people out there looking for work and bosses looking for workers. such a great app that has helped me get a job before.
ReplyDeleteLinkedIn is amazing for networking, even beyond your level! I once interviewed the CEO of my favorite Esports broadcasting company by just reaching out to him on LinkedIn, which was amazing! I'm sure plenty of other connections are out there, but with so much to do, it's hard to stay active on such a site.
ReplyDeleteLinkedIn is new to me and I got it and looked around in the beginning of class and it is cool what you are able to do with it.
ReplyDeleteI liked how your smackdown was very clean and the music was used very well. I know we all had to create a LinkedIn but this review helped me learn more about what it can do and how it can be used. I can definitely see this tool being useful when I am ready to find a job.
ReplyDeleteLinkedIn is amazing! It's a great way to connect to companies and co workers. It's also the perfect space to build up your professional profile. As you said, it's amazing for networking and I liked how in depth your tutorial was. It's definitely a great way to make or find job opportunities. Excellent job!
ReplyDeleteI have a LinkedIn account; I don’t use it often however I see how this application can be useful for your future profession!
ReplyDeleteI've started to check my LinkedIn as regularly as my other social media apps, mainly because I am looking to start getting into my field and seeing how others post and act on that app is helping me figure out how to emulate a professional social media page. Hopefully if I attain an entry level biology position and maintain that for my last year at Stockton, I'll have the degree and work experience to apply to higher grade positions right off the bat. I am also searching the representatives from departments I am interested in applying to.
ReplyDeleteLinkedIn was actually going to be the tool I was going to use, until I saw that you already took it. LinkedIn is one of the best tools you can use career-wise. It is like a social media for your career, which would've been a bizarre concept 10 years ago, but today is increasingly becoming an important tool that employers utilize to find potential hires. It makes the whole weeding out process insanely easy as-well. Overall it was a fantastic presentation and is an awesome website that I personally think we will become very connected to once we start looking for a career after college.
