LinkedIn is a business oriented social networking site. The site is mainly used by working professional to make profiles and make connections with other professionals.
The site is very useful for people looking for jobs or insights about a company. It is particularly useful for recruiters while looking for prospective employees for a company.
You need to make a connection by sending an invite to a particular employee. If they accept you can visit their profile page and have a look at their resume.
I have worked as a recruiter and from personal experience I can tell you that LinkedIn was very helpful. I joined groups and posted job requirements in the discussions. Interested employees can contact you for sending their resume.
If you are looking for a job you can check out HR managers profiles and try and make connections with them or you can also follow top companies and get a notification when they post requirements for new jobs.
If you are looking to gain more knowledge in a particular field you can be a part of a group and take part in discussions.
Use LinkedIn to update your professional page.
