LinkedIn Primer Lesson #6: Jobs & Hiring

LinkedIn has a tab for Jobs & Hiring, meaning if you're looking to post or to fill positions, they're ready for you.  They've partnered up with SimplyHired, so when you search for a job on LinkedIn, you get to see both internal LinkedIn results, as well as SimplyHired results.

And the really, really cool thing is you get to see how your connected to those companies when you look at those listings.




Looking at a posting, I can see who posted it, and how I'm connected to them. I can even see how many recommendations they have. Can you see how this is an advantage when trying to land a job? You can learn about the company, and the hiring manager or recruiter, and be well prepared for any interviews, and possibly utilize your network to put in a good word for you. 


Homework
Search on  for a job on LinkedIn, and see how close a connection you can get to your ideal job.
