Everyone is fully aware that the popular social outlet “LinkedIn” is for those who are searching for professional jobs, as well as professional corporations searching for their next talented employee. So it would be natural for LinkedIn to create a specific application to target students attempting to get their dream job. This new application from LinkedIn can be downloaded for both major platforms, iOS and Android devices.
As reported by Ada Yu, a senior product manager working for LinkedIn, she says “It was only natural for us to try to come up with a solution for this but do it in a way that really resonates with students and meet them where they are, which is mainly on the mobile phone.”
LinkedIn has also stated on one of their blogs, “So how can the new app help you tackle your college to career transition? Think of it as your personal job exploration guide, providing tailored jobs related recommendations based on real data from the career paths of hundreds of millions of successful professionals.”
If we look inside the LinkedIn database, we can see that the report generates well over 400 million users that reside in over 200 different countries and territories. This report has already been generated back in 2015.
LinkedIn Students application will assist you on exploring a new career path and guide you along your job search for that new career you have been dreaming about for decades. You can even opt-in for getting personalized recommendations every day. This is so you can stay one-step ahead during your post-college job search – something that can become extremely difficult at times.
Some of the features listed inside the LinkedIn Students Application are:
- Explore suggested roles that are catered to your education;
- Obtain hand-picked career advice articles that are written just for students;
- View recent alumni profiles within your major, and see their career path;
- Get advice from other users;
- Obtain great job listings that are appropriate for your major and graduation year.
If you are a college student searching for that perfect career, I recommend you utilizing your time wisely and download the LinkedIn Students application for iOS and/or Android devices.
