Linkedin

Like it or not, LinkedIn has become a valuable networking tool. We spoke to Sharon McCooey, head of LinkedIn Ireland, and Brian McFadden, founder and client services director at the Recruiters agency about how graduates can make the most of social media to get their careers going. What are the main social media tools for graduates? Brian McFadden: It’s more important for some graduates to have a digital footprint, particularly if it is in an outward facing role such as sales or marketing. In other roles, it may be less important but it does help employers to know if you are digital savvy, if you have accolades and recommendations and if you are an active online user. If you’re doing a more backroom role such as software engineering, Github and StackOverflow may be more important ways of showing your work. Why is LinkedIn an important tool now? Sharon McCooey: LinkedIn passed the milestone of one million members in 2013, doubled to two million members in 2019 and has continued to grow since. Our growth has been driven by multiple factors, not simply people finding job opportunities. Over the past year we’ve seen an increase in conversations on the platform and…

WASHINGTON, D.C., USA — Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, has sent a letter to Microsoft, accusing the tech giant of being "out to get conservatives." The letter from Jordan comes as the House Judiciary Committee prepares to consider a series of antitrust bills that could force Apple, Amazon, Google, and Facebook to overhaul their business practices, according to CNBC. In his letter to Microsoft President Brad Smith, Jordan openly wondered why House Democrats did not include Microsoft in the list of companies for reform.  “Big Tech, including Microsoft, Inc., is out to get conservatives. Despite Microsoft’s size and market dominance, House Democrats curiously did not significantly examine Microsoft’s conduct during their investigation of competition in digital markets. Democrats also seem to have excluded Microsoft from scrutiny in their large package of bills to radically rewrite American antitrust law," Jordan wrote to Smith. Jordan accused Microsoft of taking "increasing aggressive editorial control over content on its platforms," citing that the company's Bing search engine has censored "Tank Man" results on the anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests 'on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party." Jordan also believes Microsoft's LinkedIn is muzzling both Chinese…

Offices are in competition with employee homes, so new developments need to be comfortable, stimulating and enjoyable places to work, says the head of Iput, the biggest owner of offices in Dublin.  You won’t be able to lease buildings or value building unless you have these characteristics, says Iput CEO Niall Gaffney. He is standing in the one-acre Wilton Park along the grand canal, a stone’s throw from Baggot Street Bridge. Behind the Victorian park is a huge construction site which will house four new office blocks, totalling 600,000 sq ft for LinkedIn’s European HQ. The buildings will house around 5,000 people.

On Nov 20, 2017, Dickson Yeo, who was studying for a PhD at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, posted on his Facebook page: "Spooky people are trying to add me on LinkedIn." Elaborating, the Singaporean wrote that a "satanic archaeologist who curates 13th century artefacts from cult groups" was trying to add him as a contact. "I know I'm alternative in views. But I'm not exactly casting spells or drinking blood now, am I?" he wrote. Yeo wasn't. But the spy, who was arrested in America two years ago and admitted that he had been recruited by China's intelligence services in 2015, had in fact been lurking on LinkedIn every day, trying to add targets. He trawled the professional networking site for contacts whom he - at the behest of his handlers from the People's Liberation Army and Ministry of State Security - could mine for classified information. And it felt almost like an addiction, he told United States law enforcement officers of the site and its relentless algorithm. No casting of spells - at least not in the mediaeval sense - or drinking of blood appears to have been involved in how Yeo got recruited, and…
