Of more than 5 million high-net-worth (HNW) individuals that currently use social media for a variety of financial planning and investment research activities, almost three-fourths of them prefer LinkedIn, according to a Cogent Research survey of American and Canadian investors with more than $100,000 in investable assets. The percentage of LinkedIn fans represents more than twice the number using Facebook, Google+ and Twitter combined.
As more advisors accept social media as a method to boost their businesses, the number of advisors accessing social media through smartphones and mobile devices rose significantly over the past year, according to American Century Investments third annual Financial Professionals Social Media Adoption Study. The study surveyed 300 financial professionals about their access and use of social media.
LinkedIn recently conducted a poll among its employer audience regarding the biggest mistakes that job applicants make during the job interview process. Half of the 350 employer respondents said that candidates who came unprepared to the interview kill their chances of making it to a second round. 24% said that arriving late to an interview hurt applicants' chances of going further in the hiring process.
