She broke my heart when she asked, Is LinkedIn the same as Career Builder

She broke my heart when she asked, Is LinkedIn the same as Career Builder 79 Flares 79 Flares Something very disturbing happened to me last week and after I pulled my jaw up off the floor I realized I needed to share it here. A recent college graduate that Im friends with on Facebook had a status that said, Jobs.Jobs.  Naturally, I sent a private message to see if I could help her in anyway.  We went back and forth a bit through private messages, talking about the kind of job she was looking for (entry-level marketing) and what she was doing in her job search. Eventually, I asked her if she was using LinkedIn.  Want to know how she responded? Is Linkedin the same as Career Builder? Yes, she really asked that.  A recent college graduate had no idea what LinkedIn does, what it is, or even knew it existed.  That just kills me.  It crushes me.  I was almost angry.  Actually no, I was and am still a little bit angry. I began explaining to her how it works and why its an effective career tool.
