“LinkedIn”
LinkedIn
is asocial networking site that is designed for business professionals.
LinkedIn is allows someone to share work-related information with the other
uses and keep an online list of professional contacts. LinkedIn allows you to
create a custom profile. However, profiles created within LinkedIn are
business-oriented rather than personal.
LinkedIn
has affected the business world since it was created. LinkedIn allows you to
stay in touch with your colleagues. This can be helpful because they can stay in
touch and discuss their current job when you are not at the workplace or face
to face with each other. This could allow for a job to be get it done quicker
because you can discuss the plan and steps to get the job done when you are not
at work. LinkedIn can also be helpful because it allows big companies to see
your professional résumé. The downside to LinkedIn is if you have bad report or
put your personal information on your profile there are a lot of big companies
who can see your profile. If you have something bad on your profile it could
cause you to lose your job or not get one later on.
LinkedIn
does not have a big impact on society. This is because LinkedIn is used mostly
for business purposes. People who sign up do not put their personal information
on the site because of who can see it. There for LinkedIn does not have a big
impact socially.
LinkedIn also affects
the entertainment industry. Since there are entertainment corporations on
LinkedIn people can apply to the company. People who are looking to get a job
in the entertainment industry can sign up for LinkedIn and put their résumé on
their profile. If the corporation likes their résumé they could hire them. The
downside to LinkedIn is if your profile is bad you may not get a job in the entertainment
industry that you wanted. Another downside is if the corporations profile is
bad people may not want to work for them or buy their products.
The news industry is
not really affected by LinkedIn. Since LinkedIn is made for business uses one
way LinkedIn can be used for news is by getting news on corporations with their
own account. This could help or hurt the business depending on the news. If the
news is good on LinkedIn more people will try to get a job there or buy
products from the business. If the news is bad it could hurt the business.
People with a LinkedIn that see the information may not want to work for the
company or buy the company.
LinkedIn
can be used for recreational use but not too often. People may be able to get jobs
that they enjoy doing and has a high salary. This will allow someone to do
something that they view as fun while getting paid a good amount.
Overall
LinkedIn makes most of its impact on businesses. Since LinkedIn can help people
find jobs it helps business hire more people and have less unemployment in
America. Ultimately LinkedIn could also impact the economy.
