LinkedIn is the dominant professional network in the US: your profile, your connections, recruiter reach-outs, Easy Apply and a large jobs board. For visibility and networking, nothing else comes close.
What LinkedIn does well
- Being found by recruiters and hiring managers
- Networking, referrals and company research
- A large jobs board with Easy Apply
Where a profile isn't enough
- A strong profile still isn't a resume tailored to a specific posting.
- It doesn't predict your interview questions or run a mock.
- It won't steady you through a knock-back or a long wait.
