It doesn’t matter who you are, you need to be on LinkedIn.  LinkedIn is the Facebook for professionals and is growing faster that you can ever imagine.   Generation 1.0 social networking sites like Facebook and Friendster have provided awesome opportunities and platforms for friends to connect, share pictures, post events, share videos and more.  Now, the social networking phenomena has given birth to professional networking sites such as Linkedin, which gives you the opportunity to network with professionals within your industry, or even branch out and connect to professionals who can be of benefit to your business or service.  And best of all, Linkedin can help you land your next job!

Linkedin allows you to import your entire email contacts list, and therefore enables you to quickly build your professional network.   We recommend you definitely spend the time necessary to fully build out your professional profile, as that is what recruiters and other professionals will be seeing about you.  Linkedin also allows you to post questions and ask for advice from other Linkedin members, who are usually very quick to respond.

South Asians are flocking to sites such as these becuase it allows us to quickly connect and find different opportunities for business and employment.  Linkedin currently hosts a very large South Asian population which spans from the US to India.  South Asians offer a unique opportunity to other users on Linkedin as they provide key insights into industry trends and business advice as they relate to the South Asian community.  Many users of the Linkedin website turn to South Asian business leaders for creative advice on how to tap into a South Asian market.  Advice that turns out to be very useful and valuable for many.
