Hi Vanessa,
Certainly, some trends are more prevalent in specific industries but I think it is a bit more accurate that online presence is a trend more so than to characterize a trend of the use of "LinkedIn." When you think about the impact of online presence alone, we really see multiple trends including social media background checks, new ways to research companies to tailor resumes and prepare for interviews, new ways to network, new ways to learn from experts, new ways to contribute and/or show expertise in a given field, etc. All of these trends stem from online presence and new social tools alone have had a huge impact on career marketing. I'm thinking that you have probably seen more trends than you realize when you think about it :)
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Vanessa!
