LinkedIn (Android | iOS | Web) is an excellent
platform for those who want to create a professional network and look for a
job. Among other resources, the social network allows its users to write and
publish articles.
Unlike a standard publication, an article is a more complex
text and serves to expand discussions on certain topics on the platform. In
addition, it will become part of your professional profile and can be found by
users inside and outside the social network.
