LinkedIn is a website that is used for social and business networking. It is mainly used for professional matters like searching for jobs or finding new employees. To me, LinkedIn seems a little unnecessary right now since I am not currently looking for a job, but within the next couple of years, I will find it very useful.
I went to the advanced job search and typed in the area code for Providence, RI. I searched for a veterinary assistant’s job within 75 miles of Providence. It asked me for a keyword to type in for type of job as well as choosing what kind of industry and specific duty within by means of scrolling through a pre-loaded job options list. Three jobs came back in the search results and they were all in Massachusetts. Two of them in New Bedford, MA, and one in Wrentham, MA. I chose to look up a job as a veterinary’s assistant because at some point in my future, I would like to go to Veterinary School, and before making a big decision like that, I would like to get some experience in the field to see what it is like head-on. I don’t have any experience as a veterinary assistant or tech, but have been around horses and animals my whole life. I personally know a lot of vets and animal surgeons, so I think that being exposed to them for long periods of time sparked my interest in this particular field of work.
I am glad that I know about LinkedIn because I think that I will definitely be using this website for future job use. This is a great tool to network and get to know people and jobs in your industry of interest in the job world.
