LinkedIn: Community & Network
The world's largest professional network, designed to help you find jobs, connect with colleagues, and build your career.
What is LinkedIn: Community & Network?
The Global Professional Network
Unlike traditional social media focused on personal lives and entertainment, LinkedIn is strictly built for professional networking, career development, and B2B marketing. Owned by Microsoft, it boasts over a billion members across hundreds of countries.
Digital Resume and Job Searching
Your profile acts as a living digital resume. You can list your experience, education, skills, and receive endorsements or recommendations from past colleagues. The app's powerful 'Jobs' portal is one of the most effective ways to find employment globally, allowing you to 'Easy Apply' to thousands of listings using your profile data.
Networking and Thought Leadership
The feed is filled with industry news, professional achievements, and thought leadership articles. Connecting with recruiters, alumni, and industry leaders helps you build a robust professional safety net.
LinkedIn Premium
While creating a profile is free, LinkedIn relies on heavy freemium mechanics. LinkedIn Premium (which has tiers for Job Seekers, Sales, and Recruiters) allows you to see exactly who viewed your profile, message people you aren't connected with (InMail), and gain access to LinkedIn Learning courses.
