If you are a vet or a cat breeder.
LinkedIn is for career- and industry-related information
only…
LinkedIn Etiquette Rule #1
Only comment and upload career-related information, not
more than 1 – 3 times a day.
So, if it is personal and you want to update your status 20
times a day, Facebook is just the place for you.
3. The answer is yes, but…
• Keep it business-related
• If you tweet a thousand times a day, rather don’t link your
personal twitter account
• Don’t check in
• Don’t post random thoughts
Keep it PROFESSIONAL!! You don’t want to
be known as that irritating student…
4. No. Under no circumstances. Would you use auto
general templates in an interview?
• Give the generic templates a personal touch
• If you want to connect tell a bit about who you are
• Generic responses create a sense of laziness
Would you employ a lazy person?
5. No, never. You may only ask for endorsements
from people who actually know you…
• Imagine asking the lady at the till from you local
supermarket for a reference? It is the same on LinkedIn
• Asking for an endorsement from someone you don’t
know comes across as naïve and amateur
• Again would you like your brand to be known for being
amateur?
I don’t know you…
6. From the Weidert Group…
• Connect with people you know
• Respond politely
• Say please and thank you
• Keep updates interesting and professional
• Be a responsible group manager
• Be aware and follow group rules
• Be honest
• Don’t be a pest
• Participate
Remember your manners…
