Offtopic: LinkedIn

LinkedIn may appear as a quite boring and even dull social network to college students, however, it can provide a number of benefits to them as its purpose is not sustaining personal relationships but creating professional ones. As a result, college students and graduates should be highly encouraged to develop and preserve such relationships and find contacts that might be to their advantage in the near future when in search for a job.
The website is an incredibly valuable source of information on professional networks and positions available as it currently holds the profiles of about 3 million companies worldwide. Every respected firm which would like to have an influencial online presence has created a profile on the platform and constantly offers updates on the positions available. Moreover, the website offers articles about local events so the information included provides benefits for job-seekers on many levels.
Additionally, online recruiting has proved to be the most successful method for hiring in the past years. It is easily-accessible, cheaper and provides a two-way communication. A student just needs to create their profile and it will work as a CV that they won't have to send multiple times to different firms, because it's there all the time. This is why LinkedIn is a great professional platform and ultimately provides great values to college studets.
