5 Reasons LinkedIn Is Not Optional for New Grads. Congratulations on your new (or pending) degree! Now, time to get serious about your job search to successfully launch your professional life after
graduation.
The reality for most new grads is that LinkedIn is your path to a new job. A network is essential for successful job search, but, as a new grad, your network isn't probably as large as you need. That’s where LinkedIn enters the picture. It isn’t Snapchat, YouTube, or Instagram. In fact, LinkedIn is pretty much in a class by itself when it comes to social media that’s work-related.

It’s never too late to get a jump start on a new career. Many enter graduate programs after years in the workforce with the goal of using a master’s degree to close a skills or knowledge gap.

When thinking about reinventing and changing your career, there is no perfect approach for everyone. There are many routes to take, and more than one might work for you. A great first step of the process is to craft some "experiments" and try out different possibilities to see how they feel to you. By implementing these low-cost, low-risk projects, you'll be able to get greater clarity without necessarily quitting your job.
You will also have a better idea if the new career is really right for you, and you also may have abetter network as a result.
Rather than leaving your current job and jumping into a new field without knowing if it will be a good fit for you, some "hands-on" experience should give you the answers to the questions above and insight into whether or not the new career is, or could be, a good fit for you. As the old saying goes, "Look before you leap."
