What type of social network is Linkedln

First of all, you should know that Linkedin is a professional social network. What does that mean? Well, there is no room for "stupid" videos, or publications like those made on Facebook or other social networks where other objectives prevail. Here we seek to create a professional and serious profile.

Note that it's like it's your online resume. In fact, your profile is just that. In it you will highlight your training, experience, skills, achievements ... and always of a work nature, not so much personal (although you can put them if they are related to skills for work).

Now, this network does not stop at just one page to show your resume. You can also participate and post articles, comments, images, videos ... but as long as they are related to your work and your work aspect. For example, a video about your cat may not be something to put on your Linkedin profile. Instead, one on how to be more productive would be better.
