[quote=Anonymous]I work in a professional services/consulting firm and during orientation we help new grad hires to set up (if needed) and build out their LinkedIn profiles. We absolutely do use them for networking, marketing our expertise, and also for hiring people. I think it depends on what your son wants to do for a career. I don't think everyone needs to care, but like other social media, it's a nice way to stay in touch with former co-workers, if you are into that. It likely doesn't matter for a college student, unless they are trying to get an internship. It can help them to connect to people in the industry like hiring managers, HR professionals, or other classmates who have done internships there. No, I don't work for LinkedIn and I'm not trying to sell people on it, just share how it matters to us.[/quote]
