Everyday LinkedIn gets more into the game with new and improved features that make the tool easier to use and more functional when applying or searching for jobs. They’ve also started to make a concerted effort toward more student-friendly features with some new additions to the profile section are another step in that direction.

You may be a Facebook pro, but are you on LinkedIn? LinkedIn is for professional networking only – you can use the site to make connections, research companies, find a job, and more.

Both help you learn the basics and see how easy it is to create a professional profile, find your dream job, and [...]

How do you use social networking in your job search? A recent NACE survey of 2010 graduates indicated that while over 90 percent of respondents have profiles on social networking sites, a much smaller percentage actually use those sites in their job search. Less than 30 percent feel that employers should view their profiles, which is understandable — most people use sites like Facebook for social reasons, and aren’t interested in blurring together their personal and professional lives. However, one piece of the survey was surprising, and I found it particularly alarming: Students using social networking as a job-search resource [...]
