Editor's Notes
- Personal brad is the image people think of when they hear your name Your title isnt who you are, it’s just your role Your brand is based on your unique strenghts Determine who you want o know about you? Potential employers? Customers? Get the word out via FB, linkedin, youtube, blogs etc.

- It is based on the notion that relationships and networks matter. And that the context of work & career are critically important. That cultivating relationships and removing the “friction” from networking will add tremendous value.
- Last quarter, we launched student vertical sections. Students hate it when they can’t get to 100% - yet they didn’t have the work experience to get there with their LinkedIn profiles. We looked a tons of student resumes, and saw what they added in lieu of work experience. Student Vertical Sections let students showcase the experience they gained in college – they can add projects, courses, test scores, honors & awards, and organizations to their LinkedIn profile.
- Your networking should be based off of friends & Family, University Affiliations, shared work experiences, interests & volunteerism
- You might find you’re affiliated with the wrong institution. This is because you added your education before we had figured out data standardization and typeahead. Re-enter it now and select from the typeahead list.
- 70% of jobs are found through personal connections or networking It’s not about what you know but who you know Why have a professional network Introductions, increased access, event invitation, info & resources, advice What if I don’t have a network? Family, friends, others Connect with Family & friends - Reach out to Alumni and Industry Build and maintain Your networking should be based off of friends & Family, University Affiliations, shared work experiences, volunterrism
