LinkedIn is a professional network for people to grow their professional network, keep connections at one place, grow businesses, find jobs and stay up to date with the industry occasionally.
You should not be on LinkedIn if you have a different purpose than your professional growth. There are other places to post personal photos, funny animal videos, and share haha moments.
So, here are a few things you need to consider while using LinkedIn.
