你今天『领英』了吗?

你要登入领英(LinkedIn),还是当一个落伍的人?

  你曾经在脸书上发布有着你脸孔的照片、在推特上推文,甚至在 Instagram 放上你的早餐照片来让全世界的人欣赏。但你曾在领英(LinkedIn)上和企业界连系吗?如果还没有,那你就错过了全球最具规模的商业导向社群网站了,它拥有超过三亿名用户、三百万家国际企业参与,以及能让你找到梦想职业与精进职涯的工具。


  领英于 2003 年所推行,它的目标很简单,就是要帮助企业联系到它们所需要的优秀人才。雇主刊登职缺,求职者则张贴履历表。然而,领英不仅仅是另一个求职网站而已。领英让那些抱持希望的应征者在申请前先研究公司,甚至是与目前正在这些公司工作的人做交流。这些在求职市场上强而有力的创新发明,正是领英为何能在每一秒就有两名新会员注册的原因。


  当脸书会员专注于寻找朋友、推特用户在召集更多追踪者的同时,你在填写完领英上个人资料后的目标即是建立商业连结。选择好你的工作、学业或是兴趣领域后,你会和相同职涯领域的人建立起连结,他们可以介绍你认识这些公司,或是能够和你分享知识、建议与帮助的同事。当你扩展你的通讯录时,你便会得到能够增进你专业技能、并能协助你找到理想工作机会的资源。


  俗话说:『有本事不如认对人。』爬上职涯的阶梯变得更轻松了,但若你还没上领英网站,你可能就落伍了。
