If you have a company you could use it to do businesses with others companies, make alliances, and offer jobs.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO HAVE A DIGITAL PRESENCE?

The world has changed and now there’s not even the necessity of meet someone to work with him or her. Perhaps it would be ideal to meet the people you will be working with in person, but it’s not necessary because you will know them thanks to their digital presence. Your digital presence may help you as a professional or ruin you. Having a digital presence is important for a professional, social networks such as Facebook may be considered when you apply for a job, so it’s wise to be careful with what you post online.

HOW LINKEDIN CAN HELP YOU TO START CREATING YOUR DIGITAL PRESENCE?Thanks to LinkedIn I can start creating connections with people; employers, companies, and so on. With LinkedIn, companies can look at my profile and decide if they want to offer me a job, and if I apply to one, then, the company will have an easier time finding my information there. It’s as good as having a CV, and I find it wise to have both. For example, I could follow the companies I would like to work for, find out that they need someone and I do have the skills for the job, so I apply to it, they see my LinkedIn and they will think “We want this guy”, and next thing you know is that I’m working for them.
