Your friend Jeanne is searching for a job and is especially interested in one company. She has decided to create a LinkedIn profile, and she asks you how to use the site to get her dream job. What advice should you give Jeanne? Send LinkedIn messages to everyone in the company, and ask them for a job. Find employees at your company of interest, and see whether they are connected to anyone you know. Post status updates praising the company’s competitors to catch the company’s attention. Finding a job today is difficult, but developing your own personal brand will help you identify what makes you a valuable job candidate and understand

LinkedIn is a valuable tool for job seekers, because through this business-oriented social network it is possible for a candidate to seek a relationship with a company of interest, view available vacancies and network.

Therefore, the best advice I could give Jennie, who is looking for a position at a specific company, would be to network, seeking some common contact with some employee of the company in question, in order to develop some relationship that could help Jennie to get a job.

LinkedIn is very effective for this purpose, so it is necessary to keep the curriculum up to date, seek information about the company of interest, make new contacts etc.
