LinkedIn on your Nokia  Lumia smartphone.

The LinkedIn app on your Nokia Lumia smartphone keeps you one touch away from finding that perfect job you’ve always wanted.

Social networks are all about connecting you with people you know, and on occasion, sometimes people you don’t. However, LinkedIn is a little different. It often reminds users to connect with people you truly know and who you may have done business with. This ensures that the professional connection between people is that much stronger.

LinkedIn already has over 161 million members in over 200 different countries, making this the world’s largest professional network and the perfect tool to show what you’re capable of, career-wise.

The LinkedIn app gives you access to all the things you’d expect to find on the online version.

The LinkedIn Today tile within the app dynamically updates with the day’s latest LinkedIn news. If you see something you want to read later, you can save it to the saved section.

If you’re wanting to keep up-to-date with your LinkedIn groups, there’s the groups tile that also suggests other groups you might like to join.

Whether you’re looking for a change of career, or just looking to stay informed of what jobs are going in your field, hit the jobs tile. You’ll be presented with a list of suggested jobs. If you see something you think you’d like to apply for, scroll through the job description and contact the person who posted it.

Not only would you have just applied for that new dream job, but also made a contact who may contact you for future positions should this application not be accepted.

Then finally, there’s the You section. This is where you can see your own profile. You’ve also got access to your connections list, your latest updates, and a brief of your past and current employment history. From here you can also connect with new people through the people you may know section.

There’s much more to explore with thisLinkedIn app, and we recommend you download it today and make some professional connections. It’s free and is available to download for the Nokia Lumia 610, Nokia Lumia 710, Nokia Lumia 800and the Nokia Lumia 900

 For those who already have Lumia devices with Windows Phone 7.5, you’ll be able to update your phones with some of the new Windows Phone 8 features like the start screen and download new apps from companies like Zynga, whose Words with Friends and Draw Something will be available in Autumn.

Microsoft also announced today that the Windows Phone Marketplace has reached 100,000 apps, and with Windows Phone 8 sharing the Windows 8 core, millions of Windows developers will also be able to develop for Windows Phone ecosystem. Lumia customers can expect thousands more apps to be introduced across Windows Phone platform.

From the Windows Developer Phone Summit 2012:

Nokia’s Kevin Shields – who leads product development for Lumia smartphones – joined Microsoft representatives on stage at the Windows Phone Summit in San Francisco to outline how we’re working together to build a winning Windows Phone ecosystem and bring new experiences to Lumia phones.

Microsoft’s Terry Myerson, Kevin Gallo and Joe Belfiore started the morning by previewing Windows Phone 8, which will come out later this year, and unveiled new hardware specs like NFC, multi-core processors and improved screen resolutions.

With years of experience building NFC experiences on Symbian, the Nokia N9 and most recently the Nokia Lumia 610 NFC with Orange, we’re excited about what we can do with NFC across the whole of Windows Phone. Just take another look at the Nokia Play360 NFC speakers if you have any doubts.

Microsoft also revealed that Nokia would continue bringing unique innovations to Windows Phone 8 through our hardware, services and apps.
