Viadeo review
Viadeo for Android lets managers, entrepreneurs, and businesspeople connect with more than 65 million like-minded professionals around the world. You can connect via phone, Skype, or messaging. This free professional social media app can help advance your career by showcasing your experience and ability to your peers.
Pros
Easy connection: You can sign in to Viadeo via your Facebook account or sign up and create a new profile. Three easy steps get new users started. Enter employment status, place of work, and start date. Students and unemployed job-seekers have options, too.
Dashboard: Viadeo's Dashboard navigation drawer let us quickly access and manage accounts, contacts, newsfeeds, settings, and more.
Career Spaces: The Dashboard's Career Spaces can save job searches, manage job offers, and even make suggestions based on your work experience and contacts.
SmartNews: SmartNews offers articles on topics you may be interested in. Viadeo can also suggest contacts, companies to follow, and other apps you might like.
Cons
Job Meetups: The Job Meetups feature isn't available yet in some countries, including the US, which limits the app's appeal.
Limited appeal: Though it boasts millions of members, contacts might not be as plentiful in some regions, compared to other business-oriented social media like LinkedIn.
Bottom Line
Paris-based Viadeo's global network has the potential to put you in contact with professional peers around the world, but users in some nations or regions may find features or contacts limited. Still, you can't have too many business opportunities, and Viadeo certainly expands your options.
