    Satisfactory experience of connectivity with people close to my company.

    Date: Nov 16 2022

    Summary: Despite the consumption of LinkedIn within browsers and quite high, which directly affects the user experience, I still consider that this social network is quite complete and that it helps a lot to develop and develop a good business environment, I loved it very much and social, I consider that it has allowed me to connect with various people who come to my business circle, in addition, making these connections has given me many business opportunities, obtaining various services thanks to those connections. I really enjoyed the experience gained, I consider that LinkedIn has been a fairly easy-to-use social network, it has allowed me to modify my entire profile in a simple way, in addition, I have been able to conceive my social circle thanks to the connection service, in which that I can connect with the people who are closest to my work environment. I hope to continue using this platform with many more years within my financial services company, since I have been able to connect with various companies interested in my services, and also with new clients, this social network has allowed me to expand the services of our company.

    Positive: LinkedIn is a very complete social network, which is capable of offering you different tools to be able to work with my work team and connect with new people close to my business circle. One of the main things I liked about this social network is how complete it is when it comes to creating posts and commenting, this platform allows me to create posts with a large character limit, this helps me create very comprehensive posts with the content is quite extensive, in addition, it also allows me to add various images or videos to complement my publication. I really loved the statistics session in which I can know exactly the reach that each publication I have made has had, I can check the reach with respect to the public obtained thanks to each publication made on my profile. Another of the things that I liked about this social network is that it allows me to create a fairly complete profile, in which I can find different attitudes, former employees, the education that I have had over the years, the courses that I have taken, the companies, organizations that I have created and many more things, it also allows me to add the charitable causes in which I have participated, I really feel very satisfied with having completed my profile is brutality and having created a profile that serves as a resume when applying for some job.

    Negative: One of the main things that would improve within this platform is the self-consumption that it has on the various computers, it is important to highlight that the consumption of the mobile phone application is really minimal, it does not have a high consumption, but when opening this social network within of each browser, the consumption is quite high, causing the social network It takes a long time to load correctly, it also takes a long time to load new posts from my home page, I consider that the consumption within each browser should be much more minimal to achieve open social network easily. In addition, another of the negative things about this social network is that it is used in the free version, you will not be able to know which people have viewed your profile, this is a quite necessary mechanism or function for new users, I consider that Any user would like to know who is checking their profile, I think this feature should be free.

    Best app for recruiters and job-seekers

    Date: May 11 2021

    Summary: LinkedIn is an amazing platform if you know how to tread well. From showcasing your stellar portfolio to attract clients, to quick job applications and networking with the big names in the industry, it is certainly a platform anybody can utilize.

    Positive: LinkedIn is a great platform to connect with employers who might be looking to recruit. It provides an easy way for job-seekers to network with potential employers, build a connection with them, or land a job. With the posting and blogging features in the profile, aspirants can easily showcase their portfolio and knowledge. It also allows organizations to post job offers and keep track of the applicants. LinkedIn Learning is another useful feature for both employers and employees to build their skillset. I also love the automatic resume builder, which is very helpful. The one-click feature for applying to jobs also provides for a very user-friendly experience.

    Negative: Since its expansion, LinkedIn has become a hub for potential frauds as well. There is no screeners for jobs it seems, as mass recruiting happens for unprofessional looking organizations. Many recruiters also exploit job-seekers by offering them 'internships' without any pay or compensation.

    An effective platform for the curriculum and companies

    Date: Feb 23 2021

    Summary: I used LinkedIn to look for the job and get the position I currently have. It has helped me to have a good work profile and in addition to getting good contacts to help me get a better job. I currently use LinkedIn as a social network with my work teams, improving my work status and maintaining relationships with clients.

    Positive: I like that other people can certify my skills and leave me comments about the work I have done, this helps me a lot to position myself and find a job faster. I can add with details where I work, the company, time of the job, what I did and I can also share that information with my connections. I like the idea of ​​knowing who visited me, this helps to improve my profile to obtain potential clients or employers.

    Negative: I don't like that I have a public activity, I should be able to select who can see my posts, likes and shared posts. Sometimes I want to find work colleagues and no logo found since they appear as "LinkedIn Member" that function is a bit annoying. The LinkedIn chat should not open the messages when I open it, I just want to know who is online to see if I can communicate with the person concerned, I do not want them to open automatically.
