There are two main reasons to be on LinkedIn.
1. Network
Military branches are built on a foundation of networks. Utilizing LinkedIn will allow you to use that network and create links to other networks across the world.
People typically create LinkedIn profiles to network, job search, engage, or recruit. Therefore, LinkedIn creates a unique platform where different individuals' goals complement one another, resulting in a thriving community.
LinkedIn creates an opportunity to find people inside and outside your military network, learn about various industries, and stay informed about career opportunities for those transitioning into the civilian workforce.
2. Employers
In fact, in the Jobvite Recruiter Nation Report, 87% of recruiters found LinkedIn most effective when vetting candidates during the hiring process. LinkedIn is the largest online professional network surpassing 645 million members. It is vital to not only connect but to be active. With more than two million posts, videos, and articles, the algorithm filters, ranks, and displays posts in LinkedIn’s members' feeds.
