Sorting Your LinkedIn Connections: Part 2 of a Series

Like Facebook and Twitter, LinkedIn offers a system for sorting your connections. To do it you use “tags”- a relatively unknown feature that can be very useful.   This post, the second in a three-part series on creating and optimizing lists on social media, covers LinkedIn. Last week we looked at Facebook, and next week we will focus on Twitter.   LinkedIn’s Tags Sort Your Connections According to LinkedIn’s help center: “Tags are simple keywords to help organize and sort your contacts. They can be added on a person's profile or from the Connections page.” LinkedIn includes some suggestions such [...]

The Power of Facebook Lists: Part I of a Series

Are you using Facebook lists and/or the list features of LinkedIn and Twitter? Doing so can help you stay focused on the segment of your connections most critical to your business success. Each site gives you the ability to group connections as clients, referral partners, groups needing speakers, and much more. For example, perhaps some of the clients with whom you are connected on Facebook are regular posters. To make sure you see their posts, you could create a “clients who are also Facebook friends” list. You can create any type of group or list for the people you are [...]

They may help you get ready for an interview, find a job, research a topic, prepare a proposal, or discuss issues of interest. The information in this post is drawn from the section on groups in the LinkedIn help center. Purpose of LinkedIn Groups Among the main purposes of LinkedIn groups is to provide a place for professionals in the same industry or with similar interests to [...]

Volunteer Leadership in the LinkedIn Experience Section

Expand your LinkedIn Experience section by including volunteer leadership positions past and present. Many people include these contributions in the Volunteering Experience and/or in the Organizations sections. However, there is no reason not to include key volunteer leadership roles in the Experience section along with paid work positions. And there are many reasons to do so.   Benefits of Including Volunteer Leadership Roles in Your Experience Section When you include a volunteer leadership role in your Experience section, other members of that organization can write you recommendations for your contributions in that role.

Stepping Away From Social Media

What has been your experience with stepping away from social media? Can you even imagine doing it? With summer just around the corner and many people planning vacations and/or trips to visit loved ones, this topic has been on my mind. Recently I traveled to northeast Oklahoma to spend time with family members. During those few days, I found myself truly relaxing and slowing down. It was good for me. Though I did check my Facebook newsfeed occasionally, I rarely thought about social media during those precious days. Instead, I focused on my loved ones. This experience reminded me of [...]

LinkedIn Recommendations Should Reflect Your Brand

The ability to get and receive recommendations is one of the best features on LinkedIn. Recommendations provide a way for potential clients and referral partners as well as hiring authorities to learn about your character, your achievements, and the ways in which you provided value to those you served. Recommendations are far more important than simply having some of your skills be endorsed. Endorsing a LinkedIn connection for a skill takes very little effort and is often done quite casually. On the other hand, when people write a recommendation, they typically put some thought into what they say about you [...]
