Linkedin Blog

Ed note: Starting today, professionals in Malaysia, Indonesia and Korea can now sign-up for LinkedIn in their very own local language. This is a post from Arvind Rajan, Managing Director and Vice President of APAC and Japan at LinkedIn.

Today, I am pleased to share LinkedIn.com is now available in in three new local languages – Bahasa Indonesia, Bahasa Malaysia and Korean. As a truly global professional network we continue to grow and deepen our footprint in the Asia Pacific region, by being more local and relevant to professionals in each of these different countries.

Ed. Note: We just announced the opening of our offices in São Paulo, Brazil. Here’s a welcome post from Osvaldo Barbosa de Oliveira, country manager of LinkedIn Brazil to our Portuguese speaking members.

É com muito orgulho que venho anunciar o lançamento do primeiro escritório do LinkedIn na América Latina, em São Paulo, Brasil. E o momento não poderia ser melhor, afinal, acabamos de ultrapassar a marca dos 6 milhões de usuários no país.

Another month, another post from our Life at LinkedIn series. This post by Martin from our Chicago office, pulls together Movember moments from our different offices. Movember aims to raise awareness around men’s health, specifically cancers that affect men. 

It all started with a question to my manager.
“Scott, What is LinkedIn’s stance on mustaches?”
And his response,
“I would think LinkedIn feels quite positively about mustaches.”
“Good..”

Once a month, we set aside a Friday for employees to focus on investing in themselves and their community. It’s a day to spend time outside their daily task list. The theme for November’s InDay was Culture. Check out other InDay posts here. – Ed.

We kicked off the day with our first cultural Top Chef competition. For the first round, ten fearless competitors created a dish related to their secret ingredient which was the culture from which they culled the recipe for their dish.  They were randomly assigned either Italian, Spanish, German, Brazilian, or Japanese as their culture and had 48 hours to prepare a dish.
