Question 1 • Social Media: Our Connected World (IS)
Henri is setting up his LinkedIn profile. When he gets to the part where he is building a network, he sees that LinkedIn recommends someone who went to the same college that he did and is in the field that he wants to go into. Should he reach out to this person even if he does not know them?
Answer
A
Yes, it is what LinkedIn is for.
B
No, it is weird to reach out to strangers.
C
No, this kind of inquiry is considered offensive.
D
Yes, that person will definitely connect with him.
Explanation
Yes. LinkedIn is designed to help people build professional networks, including connecting with people they do not already know. Henri can send a polite, personalized message explaining their shared college and his interest in the person’s field. The person may or may not accept, so choice D promises too much.
