Being on LinkedIn is a good professional move. I've been contacted by
recruiters based on my experience. Be aware that this is intended for
professional networking, so you really want to be sure that your profile
looks clean. Don't let the accessibility issues of the site or app hurt
your professional image; ask a sighted person to give your profile a visual
review. Every person should do this, regardless of whether they are
visually impaired. This is an online resume.
While the apps and websites are not greatly accessible, the good news is
that Linked In recently hired a totally blind person to advise them on
accessibility. He's a guy I know from past professional and recreational
activities and I think he'll be a great advocate for us. My recollection is
that he just moved to the job in last fall. I'll let you all know if I
connect with him and have an update on his attack plan for improving
accessibility.

Subject: Re: Linked in question.
Yes, you can search for contacts, using criteria like places worked,
schools attended and so on. LinkedIn will also suggest different people
you can connect with. On the LinkedIn page, you can also point to or
upload your contacts from Outlook, Google and so on, and LinkedIn will see
if those people are already on LinkedIn and give you the chance to connect
with them. When you invite someone to connect with you, after they accept
your invitation, you'll get an email that will also include suggestions
from LinkedIn on who in their connections you might want to connect to.
You can also look at your connection's connections and extend an
invitation to any of them if you want to.

Ricardo and all,
thanks for your reply.
So according to what criteria you can find people on Linked in in case
you want to make some new contacts? Is something like that possible?
Regards
Maria

Hi,
Yes, there is a linked in app. The accessibility is terrible. I mean
truly atrocious. Linkedin is basically a social network based on
careers and employment. The more your network grows, the more access
you have to other people.

Thanks.
