- Huge mistake to wait until you need a job, internship to start reaching out Keep connections current, follow-up immediately and consistently
- This is a critical — if not THE critical — online professional resume. Job recruiters use LinkedIn — be present. Be bold. Include your experience, provide LINKS Use your SUMMARY, include your email too — in case they can’t connect immediately

- Never use the placeholder connection invite if you can help it. It’s weaksauce. Use your new contact’s name, thank them. Mention talking points from your conversation. Be original and snap heads. Stand out. Don’t be afraid to be funny or clever — they’re PEOPLE too!

- This isn’t Facebook — You’re only hurting yourself by adding people you don’t know. This should be your REAL professional network. If you want to be recognizable and familiar with each other — this sets you both up for success! Example: “David Boren, of course! I worked on a client with David. He’s fantastic and a real all-star at running universities. Great team player too. I’ll put you in touch.”

- Encourage your friends, team-members, co-workers to join LinkedIn and network effectively. WHY? → because their connections are YOUR future connections. The strength of weak ties… It’s not just about who you know — it’s about who your friends know. Surround yourself with valuable, well-connected people and you’ll be just fine.
