Using LinkedIn for Job Searching and Alerts
Ma Thiri has been at a local trading company in Yangon for two years, earning 400,000 MMK per month as an admin assistant. She checks Facebook job groups every night, scrolling past dozens of posts with no salary listed and no company name -- just a Viber number. One evening, a colleague who just landed a coordinator role at an INGO paying 800,000 MMK tells her: 'I did not find it on Facebook. The recruiter found me on LinkedIn.' Ma Thiri has a LinkedIn account she created during university. She has never opened it since. That is about to change.
