In today's professional world, technology is high in demand. Who we are and what we represent can easily be accessed by a simple click. Several companies, institutions and workplaces have utilized "Linkedin" as a means of discovering potential employees.
Linkedin is social networking for professionals. Users are able to create a profile that highlights their experience, qualifications, and a profile picture. You can also meet and make connections with other business professionals as a way of promoting your personal brand.
With my Linkedinprofile I plan to show my skills as a creative writer, musician, and journalist. I also plan to make connections with reporters, PR Managers, producers, as well as other writers that share similar creative interests. Heres a link to my Linkedin profile : Athena Hamilton - Linkedin
The entertainment industry is more than just "who you know". It also revolves heavily around "who knows you". Using LinkedIn will allow me to efficiently market myself and brand in order to attract high level business and companies.
I viewed some Linkedin profiles of individuals I know and made some important observations. One profile was my teacher, Patrick Harwood. ( P. Harwoord Linkedin Profile ) His profile clearly states his educational experiences, certifications, and career characteristics. His page also provides insight on organizations he is apart of and other posts of his leisure. A well structured profile is key to attracting businesses and executives.
