I keep hearing a lot about LinkedIn and I keep debating whether or not I should get one. It seems pretty interesting and looks relatively useful, but I'm not so sure if it is the right tool for me. However, looking at this article with the graphic feature of the profiles for LinkedIn really made the whole website seem more clear to me. I still can't say whether I will like it or not, if I even decide to get one, but looking at it makes it seem more clear as to how to get my information organized nicely in the layout. The biggest issue I wonder about is how you actually get people to see your profile. I'll have to look into it more before I decide to proceed with signing up.
I just made a whole bunch of changes to my Linkedin following this article. I know a lot of people are starting to use Linkedin, and like everything else, every detail on your page will show a little more about who you are. Even if it's now intended. So it's important to keep a clean, upstanding, and informative profile, tailored to the kind of person you are because a potential employer will look at this a bit like a first interview, to get an idea of who you are and what you can do.
I've kept my LinkedIn profile pretty minimal hitherto because I'm not sure what information I want on there yet, and feel that having a minimal online presence is better than having a negative one. I think this article has some good points, some I may use now and in the future, but I'm not sure your family is necessarily the key to expanding your network. If anything, I'd want to keep my family off of my LinkedIn page to minimize embarrassing, unnecessary endorsements etc. I think I'll make focusing on my LinkedIn page a project for winter break, and definitely save this article for future reference.
