Week 3: LinkedIn

I've finally made a LinkedIn account for the first time and it does seem like it could help me in the future. When you set up your account it will sort of feel like your setting up a Facebook account. One thing that I liked about LinkedIn though versus Facebook is that I can add my skills and it gives you feedback and will tell you that adding more skills or a profile picture will make your profile more employable. Facebook and LinkedIn are both social media accounts that connect you with others but LinkedIn I feel is the one that you need to make sure you want everyone to see. Everyone does it but we might post things on our Facebook accounts that you don't want everyone to see but its you and you need to be able to express yourself. Honestly though you don't want your boss seeing everything that you post. You have to be as professional as you would be if your talking to employer. I plan to utilize LinkedIn and improve my profile with adding more information that will make my profile stand out. The best thing about LinkedIn is that its simple to use and what we all want is a little simplicity in our lives.
