Editor's Notes
- #2: Yesterday you learned about branding with social media. Today we will learn how to use social media in your networking and company research/ interview preparation.
- #3: Why the internet (LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter) helps keep relationships. What used to happen when a contact changed jobs? Loss of contacts frequently, especially if the job entailed relocation.

- #6: LinkedIn is designed for professionals to assist them in their networking for a variety of purposes.Collaboration between peers to advance skills and knowledge. Assist friends or others in your network to know more about your professional abilities.Over 80 million networkers to search for on LinkedIn.Explain degrees of separation. If you know 10 people and they each know 10 people who also know 10 people you now have reasonable access to 1,110 people.That is the ideal situation, The numbers will really be lower because some of those people will know people that you know.Over 100,000 recruiters are on LinkedIn. What are they there for, to find the ideal candidate for the job they need to fill.
- #8: Many people are not sure who they should connect to. Our recommendation is that you connect to people you network with. Because part of the networking formula, is introducing your contacts as well as getting introductions, many people feel better to connect after a one on one coffee meeting, so that they are better able to understand each other and help each other out.
- #9: Networking Bios are a great way to help people remember you and remember how they can help you out. Use them purposefully.
