With increasing international travel and interaction, we know how critical communication is to commerce. And while English is used in parts of the world, many of us would like the option to do business in our native language.
So it’s time to say Vielen Dank to all of our German-speaking members who can now start using LinkedIn auf Deutsch!
There was a great post yesterday on Guy Kawasaki’s blog on 10 ways to find a job using LinkedIn.
It’s a very timely post because I find that, even among my fairly young and tech-savvy friends, people still have trouble imagining how to best leverage their professional network online to help them with their job search. Too often, people think of social networks as just an online Rolodex or messaging client. They don’t realize that while there is great advantage in keeping up with your connections, the true transformative power is the ability to look past the people you know directly to explore options in your broader network.
Dear LinkedIn Users,
Many of you trying to use LinkedIn between 2:18am and 4:08am US Pacific time this morning, and all of you trying to use LinkedIn between 6:10am and 7:43am, were unable to get in. This is not what we want for our users, and we are very sorry for the inconvenience caused. Rest assured, all of your postings and messages were sent out.
