Define how communication skills fuel career success in a challenging digital age marketplace.

Where are the jobs? The COVID-19 pandemic upended one of the best job markets in decades. The resulting economic slump has led to greater competition for fewer positions. Without traditional face-to-face networking with contacts whom job seekers know, LinkedIn and other online job search tools have become even more critical places where to find and be found. Even before the pandemic, polls revealed that more than 95 percent of recruiters use LinkedIn regularly to locate and vet job candidates.

Although it has significantly fewer monthly active users than Facebook, LinkedIn is the go-to professional social networking site. One reason for its popularity is the 20 million companies and 20 million job openings listed there. Other social media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Glassdoor, as well as popular job boards, are additional job-search tools you can literally manage in the palm of your hand. All are also available as mobile apps. LinkedIn is an excellent place for any job seeker to learn what is available, what qualifications are necessary, and what salaries are being offered. If they havent done so already, students will need to develop an effective, professional LinkedIn profile sooner or later.
