Faulkner University Finance for Business MBA Careers Research Discussion

LinkedIn is considered a powerful job search tool in today’s world, known primarily for online networking and job searching. However, LinkedIn can also be used to research organizations, industries, and career paths. With LinkedIn, you can access millions of other working professionals and explore things such as current job titles, past job titles, certifications, and so forth. You can see exactly what others are doing with their MBAs in the areas of financial management, strategy, ethics, or other related fields, and then figure out how they got there based on their career history.

Before beginning this discussion create a free LinkedIn account, if you do not have one already. Then, utilize the search bar to find fellow alumni that have completed their MBA. To do this, simply type “MBA” in the search bar. Once the results appear, take your time clicking on profiles that interest you.
