People who look to build their careers have hopped on the social media stream of creating Linkedin profiles. Since a profile is basically an extension of a person’s resume, it’s a great way to boast about one’s accomplishments, project an image of professionalism, and most importantly network with other professionals.
While it’s excellent for networking in most broad fields such as finance, engineering, and I.T., using Linkedin to network in the field of electronic dance music flies under the radar.
