Xing and LinkedIn are social career networks applied in a professional context. They are a digital resume, networking platform, and job board in one. Companies often post current job offers on their profiles or search social career networks themselves for suitable applicant profiles (active sourcing).
A professional appearance includes an appealing profile picture and a complete CV with details of all previous professional stations.

In the video Presentation and Networking in Xing and LinkedIn (in German), you will learn how to create an appealing profile.
