No matter where you are in the world, you need a way to support yourself. When you lose your job, it’s imperative to find another one quickly – and even if you still have your job, moving up in the ranks often means searching for what’s new in your career field.
Granted, finding what’s new can be a bit of a challenge, especially if you work in a very specialized field. Fortunately, there are websites dedicated to jobs of almost every kind no matter where in the world you’re currently located. Naturally, some of those sites are more acclaimed than others.
Professionals know the value of networking, and no website specializes in higher levels of networking more than LinkedIn. With more than 300 million members on a global scale, LinkedIn has, on average, 15 million profiles, 1.45 million jobs and 44,000 job applications viewed every day in over 200 countries through mobile alone
