LinkedIn’s newest app helps college grads find jobs

For all the talk about its benefit to the “economic graph,” one of the main things LinkedIn is recognized for is being an online resume — it’s a social network that most professionals understand how to take advantage of. But what about those who aren’t working yet, specifically college students who are about to graduate but have no idea what they want to do afterwards?

It’s a question that some of us face as we’re starting out: What job can I get with my major? LinkedIn saw this problem and has developed LinkedIn Students, an app that gives you a starting point for exploring the first stage of your professional career. Available now to users in the U.S., the app highlights companies and job titles that might be suitable, based on what school you attend and the area you’re majoring in. Students can also get started building their network, as LinkedIn Students lists any alumni that work at each recommended company.
