LinkedIn Industries List

LinkedIn is the world’s largest professional network. It is a social media platform that connects professionals with others who are working in the same industry.

LinkedIn has two types of profiles: professional and industry.

You can use a professional profile to showcase your skills, experience, and education. While an industry profile allows you to see which companies are in your field and connect with them, as well as potential contacts within the company.
