WAYS TO GET STARTED

Remember:

This is not Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or any other

informal network. This is professional. This is your resume.

This is your career.

Be aware of who you’re connecting with – stranger danger!

Be strategic with your connections and your network.

If you’re a passive job-seeker, be careful about connecting

with recruiters and following companies.

Vouch for someone with caution – recommending or

endorsing someone is a reflection of your reputation, too.
