Upon creating our account, we found it complicated to set up our profile. Apparently there is a lot of information you need to provide in your profile. For instance, job history, current employment, education, websites that you have (such as blogs), and various other personal information. You can also upload applications, resumes, recommendations, etc. to your profile. It's a little overwhelming especially if your used to Facebook! However, we could see how helpful it could be when using this type of social media for networking. We still have yet to utilize all aspects of LinkedIn...next step: Uploading Resumes! Just out of curiosity, has anyone ever found a job through using LinkedIn? Let us know your story.
Til' next time,

Welcome to our Blog!
In today's society most everybody has a facebook or twitter page. Even our grandparents do...and that's scary. However, we realized that we have absolutely no idea what else is out there. Which brought us to LinkedIn, the professional social network...yes, you heard me right. PROFESSIONAL. So, we decided as graduating seniors who need to pay off our student debt (lots of it), we decided a little networking would probably be a good idea! With that being said, we created a LinkedIn account and we successfully have 1 follower, yay! Although we love our 1 follower (our professor), if anyone has a LinkedIn account, ADD US!
