This was way before LinkedIn was a commonly adopted professional network. I was an "early adopter" and saw the future impact.
This was 2 years before the LinkedIn IPO.
At the time, there were less than 25-30 million LinkedIn members.
It's old, school, but highlights what has happened in the last 4 years.

“To be integrated is to feel secure, to feel connected.” The views and experi...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: Although a significant amount of literature exists on Morocco's migration policies and their
successes and failures since their implementation in 2014, there is limited research on the integration of subSaharan African children into schools. This paperis part of a Ph.D. research project that aims to fill this gap. It
reports the main findings of a study conducted with migrant children enrolled in two public schools in Rabat,
Morocco, exploring how integration is defined by the children themselves and identifying the obstacles that they
have encountered thus far. The following paper uses an inductive approach and primarily focuses on the
relationships of children with their teachers and peers as a key aspect of integration for students with a migration
background. The study has led to several crucial findings. It emphasizes the significance of speaking Colloquial
Moroccan Arabic (Darija) and being part of a community for effective integration. Moreover, it reveals that the
use of Modern Standard Arabic as the language of instruction in schools is a source of frustration for students,
indicating the need for language policy reform. The study underlines the importanceof considering the
children‟s agency when being integrated into mainstream public schools.

Non-Financial Information and Firm Risk Non-Financial Information and Firm RiskAJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: This research aims to examine how ESG disclosure and risk disclosure affect the total risk of
companies. Using cross section data from 355 companies listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange, data regarding
ESG disclosure and risk was collected. In this research, ESG and risk disclosures are measured based on content
analysis using GRI 4 guidelines for ESG disclosures and COSO ERM for risk disclosures. Using multiple
regression, it is concluded that only risk disclosure can reduce the company's total risk, while ESG disclosure
cannot affect the company's total risk. This shows that only risk disclosure is relevant in determining a
company's total risk.

The Challenges of Good Governance and Project Implementation in Nigeria: A Re...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT : This study reveals that systemic corruption and other factors including poor leadership,
leadership recruitment processes, ethnic and regional politics, tribalism and mediocrity, poor planning, and
variation of project design have been the causative factors that undermine projects implementation in postindependence African states, particularly in Nigeria. The study, thus, argued that successive governments of
African states, using Nigeria as a case study, have been deeply engrossed in this obnoxious practice that has
undermined infrastructure sector development as well as enthroned impoverishment and mass poverty in these
African countries. This study, therefore, is posed to examine the similarities in causative factors, effects and
consequences of corruption and how it affects governance, projects implementation and national growth. To
achieve this, the study adopted historical research design which is qualitative and explorative in nature. The
study among others suggests that the governments of developing countries should shun corruption and other
forms of obnoxious practices in order to operate effective and efficient systems that promote good governance
and ensure there is adequate projects implementation which are the attributes of a responsible government and
good leadership. Policy makers should also prioritize policy objectives and competence to ensure that policies
are fully implemented within stipulated time frame.

Exploring Factors Affecting the Success of TVET-Industry Partnership: A Case ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to explore factors affecting the success of TVET-industry
partnerships. A case study design of the qualitative research method was used to achieve this objective. For the
study, one polytechnic college of Oromia regional state, and two industries were purposively selected. From the
sample polytechnic college and industries, a total of 17 sample respondents were selected. Out of 17
respondents, 10 respondents were selected using the snowball sampling method, and the rest 7 respondents were
selected using the purposive sampling technique. The qualitative data were collected through an in-depth
interview and document analysis. The data were analyzed using thematic approaches. The findings revealed that
TVET-industry partnerships were found weak. Lack of key stakeholder‟s awareness shortage of improved
training equipment and machines in polytechnic colleges, absence of trainee health insurance policy, lack of
incentive mechanisms for private industries, lack of employer industries involvement in designing and
developing occupational standards, and preparation of curriculum were some of the impediments of TVETindustry partnership. Based on the findings it was recommended that the Oromia TVET bureau in collaboration
with other relevant concerned regional authorities and TVET colleges, set new strategies for creating strong
awareness for industries, companies, and other relevant stakeholders on the purpose and advantages of
implementing successful TVET-industry partnership. Finally, the Oromia regional government in collaboration
with the TVET bureau needs to create policy-supported incentive strategies such as giving occasional privileges
of duty-free import, tax reduction, and regional government recognition awards based on the level of partnership
contribution to TVET institutions in promoting TVET-industry partnership.

Social media refers to online platforms and tools that enable users to create, share, and exchange information, ideas, and content in virtual communities and networks. These platforms have revolutionized the way people communicate, interact, and consume information. Here are some key aspects and descriptions of social media:
2. How Important is Social Media?
69% of recruiters expect competition for
jobs to increase in 2015.
55% have eliminated a candidate based
on online information (up 13% from 2013).
73% of recruiters plan to increase their
investment in social recruiting in 2014.
While 83% of job seekers flock to
Facebook, LinkedIn remains recruiters’
top social network.

3. Social Networks and Recruiting
Recruiting on social networks
73% of recruiters have HIRED a
candidate through social media.
4. What are Recruiters Looking For?
Professional Experience
Length of Professional Tenure
Industry-Related Posts
Mutual Connections
Specific Hard Skills
Cultural Fit
Examples of Written or Design Work
93% of recruiters will
review a candidate’s
social media profile before
making a hiring decision.
5. Brand or be BRANDED
If you aren’t managing your personal brand online, it’s still being formed (but without
your input).
Your online identity is determined not only by what you post, but also by what others
post about you.
Photo tags. Public status updates. Blog mentions.
Google search results are a combination of information you’ve posted and
information published by others.
Be the author of your online identity by taking a strategic, proactive approach to
managing your online presence.
6. Assess Your Presence
Google yourself
If you have a Google account (i.e., Gmail
or YouTube), you will get different results if
you are logged into your Google account.
Log out of Google so you can see what
others see when they Google your
name.
If you have a common name, narrow
results by your profession or geographic
location.

(http://www.onlineidcalculator.com)
Stay posted on new online
information through Google Alerts
http://www.google.com/alerts
7. Deflect Digital Dirt
Negative information about you online is referred to as “digital dirt.”
One effective strategy for managing your online reputation is to “bury” your
digital dirt
Removing (or requesting removal) and/or correcting incorrect or inappropriate
information
Posting new content (move unfavorable information lower in your search
results)
Register your name as a domain name
Claim your name on social media accounts
Use sites like BrandYourself.com and About.me to create positive profiles
8. LinkedIn
LinkedIn is one of the most effective ways to establish an online presence.
Your LinkedIn profile will usually rank on the 1st or 2nd page of Google
LinkedIn should complement your resume, not duplicate it.
Add project highlights, multimedia presentations, links, and other information about your interests,
achievements, and work.
Start with an appropriate photo.
Not having a photo is detrimental!
http://thingscareerrelated.com/tag/linkedin-photo/
9. Strategies for LinkedIn
Customize your URL
Maximize your professional summary.
Write conversationally in the 1st person.
Grab your audience through a
compelling headline (120 characters)
Search results show: your name, headline,
and location
The default is title/company
The most difficult part of creating
your LinkedIn profile is sounding
original.
Articulate your unique brand
What sets you apart?
Groups and Companies
Joining groups and following
companies can increase your
exposure.
10. Keywords
Keywords are a list of words and phrases that are related to your work.
Words that a prospective employer would search for when trying to find someone like
you.
LinkedIn headlines are searchable fields using the “People Search” function when
someone is looking for particular skills, interests, qualifications, or credentials.
You can also incorporate keywords throughout your LinkedIn profile:
Your LinkedIn profile headline
Current and former work experience
LinkedIn summary section
Specialties or Skills section
11. How NOT to Get Noticed on LinkedIn
Turn off activity broadcasts and adjust who
can see your activity feed.
Change it to Only You.
Select the type of messages you’re willing to
receive.
Do not select Career Opportunities, New
Ventures, or Job Inquiries
Don’t participate in LinkedIn groups for job
seekers.
Focus on job function specific groups or
industry groups instead (where you might be
found by recruiters and future employers)
Cultivate recommendations and contacts
slowly.
Don’t reveal confidential information about
the company
Focus on how you’ve helped the company
stand out and be successful, not how you
stand out and are successful.
Don’t upgrade to paid job seeker
membership (this shows up on your profile)
12. Facebook
Review your privacy settings regularly!
Remove and untag any inappropriate
photos, content, and posts.
Graph Search
Customize searches for places, friends,
interests, etc.
Narrow in on specific companies, cities,
hobbies. (People who work at Rockwell
Collins in Cedar Rapids)
Use privacy settings to control what others
can search about you.
13. The Overt Approach to Using Facebook in
your Job Search
Share as much of your personal job search journey as you feel comfortable with in your status updates
This might include posts about the fact that you’re searching for a new position
“They’re closing my office. I have 30 days to find my next job.”
What kind of job you’re looking for
“Facebook friends: I’m looking for my next PR job in Omaha. Know anyone looking for a stellar pitchman with strong social
media expertise?”
Requests for assistance
“Does anyone know someone who works at Company X?”
Progress in your job search
“I have an interview today at my dream company — wish me luck!”
Posting once a day about job search-related topics in your status can keep your search at the top of
your friends’ radar.
14. The Covert Approach to Using Facebook
in your Job Search
The “covert” approach to job search is by using your Facebook Profile to establish yourself as a
“thought leader” in your field.
Post professional content to your page to become recognized for your work accomplishments
links to interesting articles or resources
videos or presentations you’ve delivered
work-related blog posts
examples of your portfolio
The key with a “covert” approach is establishing a balance of personal and professional content posted. You
don’t want your Facebook friends asking themselves, “Does she think this is LinkedIn?”
Participation in work-related Groups can also raise your professional profile.
Offer helpful advice, guidance, and feedback.
15. Facebook Apps
BeKnown (www.beknown.com)
Connects with Monster.com
Draws on your Facebook connections to
build your account.
BeKnown finds and recommends jobs for
you based on your skills and experience.
You can search the Job Feed for
advertised opportunities, or look in the
Friends’ Jobs section to view jobs posted
by people in your network.
Glassdoor (www.glassdoor.com)
Salary information, company reviews,
actual interview questions, and more —
are posted by employees, jobseekers,
and company representatives.
The site offers more than 2.5 million
salaries and company reviews.
Both of these applications can potentially compromise your privacy in a
confidential job search.
16. Twitter
Benefits of using Twitter
Short format response enables recruiters and hiring managers to quickly connect with
you
Become known as a thought leader
Add value by sharing and by posting original content
Let your real personality shine through (but keep it professional!)
17. Hashtags (#) and Tweets
Review timelines to determine hashtags to use
Recruiters
Industry leaders
Target companies & insider/employees
Use hashtags (#) with industry-specific terms
Tweet to your network to gain key insights
#jobopening
#accounting (your industry) #jobs
#jobtips
#resume
#joblisting
“Anyone know which manufacturers in Cedar Rapids are hiring?”
“Can anyone suggest a good contact at [company]?”
18. Google+
Why Google+?
Google favors Google+ pages in search
540M* active monthly users (Jan 2014)
Create a compelling profile
Connect to your LinkedIn profile, Twitter
account, blog, and other networks
Write in 1st person
Incorporate keywords
Showcase your work through links, albums,
and images
Create a great G+ Tagline (similar to your
LinkedIn headline)
Start Circling
G+ allows you to sort your contacts in to
Circles, each with their own privacy setting
Circle industry experts and target
companies
Join Communities
Look for those dedicated to your industry
or expertise. Join and add value!

19. Putting the Pieces Together
Know your audience
Where are they? Which medium will be
most effective to reach them?
Maximize your time
Use tools like Buffer or Hootsuite to
schedule social media updates
Carve out regular time to interact on social
media. Stick to time limits!
Be consistent in your career
communications
Brand your email signature with a LinkedIn
badge or Twitter handle
Align your resume, elevator pitch, business
cards, and other documents to
communicate the same message
