LinkedIn gives members a chance to keep in touch with their colleagues and it also allows them to search for people or information that will help them attain their career goals whether to find a job or to search for qualified candidates. Since the network includes experts from various industries, members may ask for ideas or pieces of advice from these industry specialists.
