LinkedIn is one of the oldest social networking sites that still works today. Founded in December 2002, the platform has evolved considerably over the years, unlike the many that finally disappeared during this period.

According to Top Dog Social Media, more than 84 million people use LinkedIn in the United States alone. To put this in perspective, it represents approximately 27% of the total population. But LinkedIn is not your average social media platform.

Instead of adapting to typical social interactions, LinkedIn has been developed to help business professionals establish contacts and create live resume profiles online.

Being part of LinkedIn is an important step for people who want to continue growing and continue their careers in the construction, engineering and environment sectors. Here we discuss why.

Build your network

With so many professionals on LinkedIn, the site is the perfect way to build your network of industry professionals. Other users even have the ability to approve the skills you have listed in your profile, which is essentially control that allows you to do what you say.

A good network can open a world of opportunities for those who are serious in their careers. It can help you get new jobs or promotions and keep you updated on the latest trends in the industry, such as:

What does the estimated future cost of the materials look like?
What are the latest technologies or trends that affect these industries?
What environmental problems are happening in the world today?

Live CV

The term “live CV” means that your LinkedIn profile information can be constantly updated or added so that everything is as up-to-date as possible.

For this reason, many recruiters have begun using these profiles in their process. A person who submitted his resume for consideration three months ago can acquire new skills or new studies corresponding to that position.

However, to take advantage of this, you should keep the profile as up-to-date as possible. When you receive a new certification, obtain a diploma or complete a related project, you must indicate it on your LinkedIn profile within 48 hours after its completion.

Allowing your profile to become obsolete will hinder the growth of your career. This is especially true in all careers in the construction, engineering and environment sectors, where keeping up to date is essential for safety and efficiency.

promote yourself

LinkedIn is the ideal catalyst for professional development efforts. You can share your profile on other social sites, including blogs or websites. Your profile will also appear in the search engine results, which will be visible to employers looking for professionals in their industry.

All your professional information is available to everyone, which is a valuable asset to the success of your career. Your achievements, certifications, studies, previous projects, cover letter and links that prove what you have said are presented on your page. Providing this information publicly allows you to appear transparent, reliable and reliable.

To be hired

LinkedIn is one of the best ways for industry professionals to be hired. Your profile allows you to indicate that you are open to offers, that you are actively looking for a new job or that you are not open to any offers at this time. Employers or hiring managers can look for professionals who are looking for employment by industry and the desired skills.

Although anyone can submit their resume to specific jobs, using LinkedIn as a recruitment method is better than the rest. This is due to the fact that limited work is necessary for your own account. Simply keep your profile updated and continue to improve your qualifications so that job offers reach you.

LinkedIn opened some doors for me, thank God it was before the double increase in the madness of internet fraudsters. Met some good business men on that platform.
