Social networking has become overwhelmingly more influential both in and out of the business world. Though it’s relatively easy to interact with people about personal topics, social media has become a powerful business tool. The most specifically business-geared outlet is LinkedIn. As stated in a recent Mashable article, “Whether you’re a job seeker, consultant, entrepreneur or happily employed, LinkedIn can be an incredible asset for your career.
