What is LinkedIn and why should you use it? LinkedIn is a professional networking tool that allows you to highlight your skills and experiences, build your network, explore and find jobs and internships, and research job opportunities. Your professional relationships are key to your career success. Networking is still the primary means of landing a great job or internship.
