I have created my LinkedIn Profile around 2 years ago, but I have never used it. It was recommended to us to use this website to find potential and appropriate interviewees for our research. It does cast a wide net, so there would be one who would agree eventually, right? It did help me find professionals; I was only able to confirm an interviewee through offline connections.
This helped me in improving my career networking both online and offline. It just further hits me how important networking truly is when it comes to your career. I had always been a stubborn believing in creating my own career without help from others but, there is no shame in creating connections and being able to form relationships with professionals of multiple industries. As an introvert, I made sure to prepare myself beforehand to be confident when it comes to networking and to ensure that I remain courteous.
